Well I moved to Cronulla from New Zealand at the start of 2011 and made the decision to start supporting the sharks as opposed to my default team by birth (Warriors)
Having grown up playing rugby along with a year playing it in Scotland it took a while to adjust to watching the game but enjoyed at least seeing live games as the Warriors only ever played in Auckland and I came from Taranaki
I copped a bit of stick from my mates back home for it initially for not only watching the NRL over Super rugby but supporting the sharks as well, but stuck with them thinking that's what people did over here = they went for their local team..
Long story short I gave up a team that made the grand finals that year for a team who finished 13th,so copped it for months haha.....
This year I get the whole Drugs thing ,but it would be too easy to turn my back on the club instead it does the opposite and makes me support even harder..
So what makes all this ridiculous ,for someone able to choose any team in the NRL I chose this one ,but damn glad I did.
So I might not have stories from 15 years ago doing crazy **** or spend thousands of dollars on signed merchandise ,but I do my part with my season membership, defending the club and making sure my future kids will be life long members
Up Up Cronulla !!!!
