I don't like the media hyping us up so much. I wish they'd stop. If we win they'll hype us even more and we'll go into the Storm match with air in our heads and get flattened. If we don't win all the hype just makes us fall back to earth even harder.
I'm stoked the boys made it this far. In 2013 I felt the same, and when we just lost to Manly in week 2 without Toddy I went to bed content with the season, and happy we stuck it to the big boys up until the final whistle. This year if we lose I'll keep replaying in my head all those bloody articles talking about the Sharks 48 year drought and how this year's the year etc etc. All this hype has made me EXPECT more dammit.
In saying that, we have a good shot at the prelims this year. Cowboys aren't all they are cracked up to be and I think with our team at full strength if we play like last week we will get up in a close one. We've got the forwards to match and the backs to excite and we have shown all year that you don't necessarily need a kicking game to win matches. Just get Ennis close to the line and get our boys running good lines and no one can stop us.
I hope that someone taps you on the shoulder with good news on Saturday Chad.
