Grey Nurse
Today, i woke to text messages on my phone saying that Cronulla Sharks, New South Wales and Australian Test Star, our number 13, Greg Bird... Was in jail overnight for "glassing his girlfriend", Young American girl, Katie Milligan... The Cronulla club have suspended Greg indefinitely... which puts one of our top stars, out of action for the rest of this year... denting what could've been a very good chance of Cronulla Sharks winning a premiership for the first time since introduced to the Rugby League system in 1967!
But i believe, in my heart, we still have a chance! Paul Gallen, Brett Kimmorley, Ben Ross, Luke Covell, Ben Pomeroy, Brett Seymour, Luke Douglas, Isaac De Gois, Danny Nutley, Adam Peek and Brett Kearney aren't just rubbish players... they are fantastic players who will need to stand up and take this club to the new heights! Don't worry about 2009... worry about the last 6/7 weeks of this competition! We can do this if the boys stand up and take pride in their Blue, Black and White!
Kimmorley, Ross & Seymour have semi-final and grand final winning blood in them (with Storm, Panthers & Broncos respectively)
Peek & Nutley are hard working veteran props who have been around the circuit and can show some true leadership
Covell, Douglas, De Gois, Kearney & Pomeroy look like true semi-final type players
But the man that needs to stand above the rest of the pack is Paul Gallen.. He is a best mate of Greg Birds, lived with him, bashed QLDers on the field together, shared Australian 100 Year Commerative Jerseys together.. He needs to lead the way...no more grubby penalties... keep the passion, and take Birds passion with him... Gallen needs to lead this side, like i know he deep down can... and take us to the semi's and possibly, a small chance at the premiership.... with pride and dignity...
Next year is a new year we have Tupou, Barrett, Armit & Hughes (Maybe Soliola... NEED CLARIFICATION ON THAT) all coming, we have young guys like Hume, Filiga, Green & Bukuya waiting on side lines to come up... we should be fine for 09...
But let's try and find a way to get through this dark, cloudy and horrible day.. move forward unite as one! United as CRONULLA-SUTHERLAND SHARKS supporters and fly our flags and sing UP UP CRONULLA louder then ever...
