97?? the super league pretendy comp.?? where a team gets to play the ultimate game at their home ground...what a farce!!

I did not really want our only premiership to be a win in a half baked comp anyway..

for me 99 was the hardest. I remember having me head in my lap and almost crying after that match.

the Knights final was hard seeing matty rogers and a few other go from the club.

The game against Warriors was f**ked for the simple reason that, I had tickets to the game but fell very sick the night before so I stayed home to watch on delayed ch:9. Warriors were leading 10 - 4 I believe and Noddy went in under the sticks. It was 10 - 10 and I was thinking this is it we have the momentum we can do it. At that time my mum walked in the room and said "Theres always next year. I'm sorry" I almost lost it at her that day.

Superleague was twice the comp then the ARL. Australian rugby league?? EVERY f**kEN TEAM BAR ONE WAS FROM SYDNEY.

Anyways that burnt because it was a final hurdle.

1999, 2001 and 2002. f**ken hell.

99 we were the Storm of today.

01 and 02 we had brilliant backends to the season then just went kaput.

Super league was a joke!! Tell me any other competition where a club side gets to play the grand final at their f**king home ground for f**k sake!!

Thats a farce!

And of the 2 grand finals that year the Newcastle v Manly one was a much better game.

Anyway I dont even want to get back into that whole superleage crap...bottom line is I would rather when the sharks win a GF they do so when the competiton is united..not split into 2 halves.

And Bronco supporters continue to rub it in our face as if the trophy wasnt already paid for, wrapped and delivered to their club a week before the game.

I was at the 99 game. fuhk it hurt.

Sharks fans were giving it to the dragons fans plenty at half time. Many a heated beer line exchange.

Then ...well ....fuhk it hurt

JT, I'm holding you responsible if one of these blokes does himself in. I can hear the weeping and wailing and gnashing of teeth from here.

99.........

we were dominant in the first half but only led by 8.......
i think peach grounded the ball on a guys foot. then i think triester knocked on in the play the ball and we went straight through and scored.....should have been 20 nil or more..

the second half was a blur of tears and backflips...

'99. merkin of a year.

Was at the game with my partner of the time and she was a low Dragons fan. Went there with 2 of her friends who were also scum fans.

Got in a punchup with a Dragons knob on the way to the car only to get back to Sharks leagues to run into the same c**k and get into blue No. 2 and get evicted. Again.

Lost the game. Lost the fight. Lost all hope and even eventuall lost the girl :lol:

Such is life

I watched it on TV in Coolum, with my cousin and my Girlfriend/De Facto.. I had to leave the room at full time, closed the bedroom door, stuck my head in a pillow.

She says " My God! This really does mean alot to you doesn't it?"

???????

Like what the f**k have I been doing the last 30 odd weeks!!!!

Definitely '99.
8 points up at half time was never going to be enough, particularly for how much they dominated the first half. I had a bad feeling at half time that they would pay.

At the end of the match I was just numb. Couldn't talk for ages.

oh dear ....

Mine wasn't quite as bad.
We had a huge party where I was out numbered 20 -1 by DRagons fans.

My only backup was 2 mates and a bunch of backpackers I'd coerced into wearing my sharks gear.

some dumb bitch found out the score and told everyone with about 20 to go.

exactly one week later I felt better though.:D

bullsh*t - physically out numbered maybe, but clear cut winner on cumulative intelligence!
