Good idea @Paul C . Mixes in a bit of alternate history though :)

Write a poem about Ricky Leutele making the final tackle in the 2016 NRL Grand Final

When the Sharks and Storm went to battle, In the grand final of 2016, A hero was born on the field that day, A man who refused to quit.

His name was Ricky Leutele, A true-blue Shark if ever there was one, With a heart as big as the outback, And a spirit that couldn't be outdone.

The game was fierce and full of fire, As both teams fought with all their might, But with just a few minutes to go, It seemed the Storm had won the fight.

Then a kick was sent high to the sky, And Ricky caught it with a roar, He took off down the field like a bullet, And left the Storm in awe.

He ran and he ran, with the ball in his hand, Till he was tackled, but not by the foe, For he made the final tackle himself, And sealed the Sharks' victory, don't you know.

So let us raise a cheer for Ricky, The hero of that final game, For he showed us what it means to be true, And helped bring the Sharks to fame.

And in the years that come and go, When we look back on that day, We'll remember the name of Ricky Leutele, And the tackle that helped the Sharks to play.

Write a poem about Ben Barba's try in the 2016 NRL Grand Final

In the Grand Final of '16, a moment for the ages, A try was scored that shook the stadium's pages, Ben Barba, the magician, with a trick up his sleeve, A moment of magic that made the fans believe.

The clock was ticking down, the tension was high, The Sharks were trailing, their hope seemed to die, Then Barba took the ball, and made his move, A step to the left, a feint to the groove.

The Storm defence was tight, but Barba slipped through, With a shimmy and a shake, and a move that was true, He surged towards the line, with the crowd on their feet, A blur of black, white and blue, a sight so sweet.

He dived for the line, with his heart in his mouth, And the ball in his hand, heading south, The crowd held their breath, as Barba made his claim, The try was given, the Sharks were in the game.

It was a moment of beauty, a moment of grace, In a game that was tough, in a hostile place, And though the Sharks fought hard to the end, It was Barba's try that they will always commend.

So let us remember, that Grand Final day, And the try that Barba scored, in his own special way, For in that moment, he became a legend, A hero to the fans, a name to be reckoned.

Write a song about Andrew Fifita in the 2016 NRL Grand Final in the style of Eddie Vedder

(Verse 1) Andrew Fifita was a man on fire, In the Grand Final of 2016, A warrior on the field, a giant of a man, With a will to win, and a heart that could not be tamed.

He ran with the ball like a freight train, Bulldozing through the Storm defence, He left them in his wake, with nothing to say, And showed the Sharks what true grit really meant.

(Chorus) Oh Andrew Fifita, you're a hero to us all, A man of passion, a man of power, In that Grand Final game, you answered the call, And led the Sharks to their finest hour.

(Verse 2) He took the hits, he gave them back, With a ferocity that could not be matched, He fought like a lion, with every breath, And never gave up, even in the face of death.

He crashed over the line, with a force so strong, And scored the try that sealed the game, The Sharks erupted, with joy and song, And Andrew Fifita became a name.

(Chorus) Oh Andrew Fifita, you're a hero to us all, A man of passion, a man of power, In that Grand Final game, you answered the call, And led the Sharks to their finest hour.

(Bridge) Now the fans will never forget, The way you played with all your heart, And though the years may come and go, Your legend will never depart.

(Chorus) Oh Andrew Fifita, you're a hero to us all, A man of passion, a man of power, In that Grand Final game, you answered the call, And led the Sharks to their finest hour.


Write a haiku about Luke Lewis in the 2016 NRL Grand Final

On the field he stood
Heart of steel, spirit of fire
Luke Lewis, hero


Write a limerick about Jack Bird in the 2016 NRL Grand Final

There once was a player named Bird,
Whose skills on the field were absurd,
In the Grand Final of '16,
He showed all he could do and was keen,
And helped his team to be the preferred.

Write a limerick about Chad Townsend in the 2016 NRL Grand Final

There once was a player named Chad,
Whose kicking was truly quite rad,
In the Grand Final of '16,
He kicked like a true kicking machine,
And left his opponents quite sad.

He sprinted down the field so fast, The other team could only watch aghast, As he tackled, and tackled some more, Until the ball lay on the floor.

Then a kick was sent high to the sky, And Ricky caught it with a roar, He took off down the field like a bullet, And left the Storm in awe.

He ran and he ran, with the ball in his hand, Till he was tackled, but not by the foe, For he made the final tackle himself, And sealed the Sharks' victory, don't you know.

It's very keen on the offensive team tackling isn't it haha

It's good to know that when they finally put AI into sex robots, they'll be able to talk dirty like that

So who do we think were our two most important players all season?

I'm going Ennis and Barba. If either one of them weren't in the team I don't think we make the GF.

Tough one...two...
Val probably isn't the same without Bird and visa-versa. Prior and Fifita probably carried us through crucial stages. House of cards really.

Maloney.

Other's may have had a better overall season, no one was more important.

Ennis would be second for finally unlocking Fifs full potential.

I can't pick 2. I'm going with 3. The same 3 who were best on ground in the GF. Maloney, Fifita, Lewis.

We don't win that game without Maloney's goal kicking and definitely not without Fifita's try. Barba's try was special also, but did come the very next play after that spectacular run from Lewis (who resisted a double movement).

The thing is, the GF was one game that culminated from a season of excellence from more than 3 or 4 of our players...
