Not sure why everyone is matthew wright'ing off the sharks in this one.
I really think Cronulla will be that team this year (and perhaps Canberra) to surprise a few people.
Sharks were pretty hungry against Easts and showed a great attitude. People forget their squad has been pretty injured to start the season, and with the Kiwi half still finding his feet. They've still showed glimpses of what can happen when they put it together like the second 40 against Cows the other week.
Much respect for Cronulla. I definitely didn't see their potential for one before the start of the year. I think when Moylan comes back and SJ really settles in his new role, I think they'll stay hovering around the top of the ladder.
Both SJ and Moylan are both players that can fire but don't thrive so much with ALL the responsibility on their shoulders, so it'll be interesting to see how much better they get playing in their comfort zone - when they can read the game yet know the balance of the squad - especially if Brailey can become more Cook like in his dummy half role.
Anyway, why am I so supportive of Cronulla? F**k me I used to hate this mob with a passion....probably too many beers already... happy easter everyone!
