Official GRAND FINAL 2016 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks v Melbourne Storm, Sunday 2 October 7:15pm @ANZ Stadium

[HaroldBishop]

Let me tell you about a long ****ing wait...

After that tell us about the Sharks.

 

[RivShark]

It all changed the day the homeless wizard predicted the Sharks as premiers on the footy show. God bless that dirty, dirty man

It should be an annual tradition to get that wizards predicted premiers before every season. Matty Johns needs to be all over this ASAP

I think they got him back the next year and he got it wrong. Must have used up all his magic on us.

2017, the most forgotten and never spoken about grand final.

Random video from YouTube.

This still makes me tear up and half sob, will forever remember it. Poor little girl with the family next to me was concerned about me crying for the last 10 mins. Watching the Storm get closer and closer to us - their try line, was heart attack inducing. I flew over solo and made a Stadium full of friends for the train ride back to my hotel and to the ground the next day. Hope I get to experience it all again one day soon!

I was so dirty when we lost in 2015 I didn’t watch another game all year. Still haven’t seen the GF.

Random video from YouTube.

Glad I waited to watch that on a WFH day...
Dang, felt like I was there again, that vid summed up the feeling perfectly.
A long time friend saw a photo of me celebrating the win and said it was the happiest she had ever seen me. Soz wifey and kiddies, it's true

 

[SF]

That full-time siren sounded like a nightmare about to be realised.

I like this video how the guy is barely even aware of the camera on him.... I was in a big group, and normally you'd take a few photos etc, when I looked back I basically had no photos on my phone during any minute of the game!

 

[Addy]

I was filmed by family watching it, because I didn't sit down for the whole second half.

Cried like a little bitch too

I reckon a lot did
but only the brave will admit it….

 

[Thresher]

It was the most frightening period of my life.

If I'd been watching it on my phone in the Canadian wilderness I'd have told a bear to f* off

 

[Born&bred]

The 8 - 0 halftime score reminded me so much of 1999 I was distraught for the entire second half thinking here we go again...

I was the same. A couple of photos of the crowd before the game, next one is the final score board.

I wonder what our lives would be like had Ricky not made that tackle?

Well for one thing, Pretty sure this thread wouldn’t be 137 pages and counting

We would also all probably be;
A little richer (saved the coin not spent on merch)
More cultured as that GF winning poster on the wall would be a Picasso instead (purchased from the coin saved NOT buying merch in point 1)
A bit “Jaded” with “this f’n team wasting another great opportunity”
Thicker skinned after more infighting with mates trying to fend off the “chokers” tag
Depressed (But the “Men’s Room” thread might be a much bigger - and introduced much earlier)
JMO would likely be coach
Flanno would be an extinct species when it comes to coaching in the NRL (sorry @Flanno )
The Chad, wouldn’t be a premiership player! (Sorry Chad)


Theres probably more, but I’m to tired to think of them right now

That Todd Greenberg fellow would have tried once more to relocate us to Perth or was it Adelaide... or maybe the Moon?

 

[Addy]

Ben Barba might still be in the NRL, but then again, probably not

Id still be a virgin

Maybe.

Reckon we would have done better the following year in general too. Better attitude etc.

Spurred on by the pain of loss with a fired up Barba we could have gone 5 in a row
