f**k the Neutrals.
I couldn't care less that NQ broke their duck, nor Souths,nor the Steelers, nor would i care if the Warriors/Titans won.
The sport survives on tribalism because whenever there is a team in the GF you hate - you think f**k em.
Just like a Manly v Dragons game - i'd be hoping for a natural disaster to occur before deciding who to back.
Sharks fans know what it would mean to them, because the true sharks fan that has had to put up with taking shit from everyone other teams fans forever will remember it forever. There isn't a more loyal supporter than a rusted on sharks supporter. After all the shit they've gone through to see no success.
Anyways, it will be difficult up against the Storm. May the best team win.
My brother is flying in for the game from the UK.
My Dad is going to his first game of Rugby League since the 90's.
My mate and his wife are flying in from Singapore for the game, for the third time this month (they also went to Melbourne, Canberra and Allianz).
I know a bloke who has been to every Sharks game since 1989.
I can probably rattle off 20 names of people I know, including my Grandfather who we lost last year who have supported this mob all their lives and are no longer with us.
I have mates who I have sat with at Shark Park as season seat holders since 2000.
I can remember sitting in that stadium in 2010, 2011, with 4000 people there in the pissing down rain and supporting the likes of Paul Aiton, John Williams and Ben Pomeroy and seriously, genuinely questioning my mental health.
We have had to sit there and watch every other club have it's time in the sun while the jealousy burns inside us.
I know so many people who would be so thrilled about the prospect of a Sharks premiership and anyone who thinks that we don't deserve this can seriously go get f**ked. That's what a Sharks premiership would mean. Long suffering; good people who know a thing or two about loyalty finally getting a return on investment out of a lifetime of Rugby League support.
