[Dragon Slayer]

Congrats to the Sharks for proving a lot of “experts” wrong.

None of them had the Sharks finishing in the top 4 and only a few had the Sharks making the top 8.

Another great coaching effort from Fitzgibbon.

I’m confident we’ll put in a good showing in the final series even though we got the horror matchup week 1.

Nicho is odds on to be zero from five in his last few finals matches by the end of this game.

Financial cheats will flog the drug cheats. Drug cheats are just making up the numbers.

Sharks can only beat dud teams, still conceded 4 tries today against a dud team missing its best attackers and who weren’t even trying.

 

[Stinkfinger]

Sharks not out of this if they play it right.

We’ve beaten every team in the top 8 except the Panthers.

But haters are going to hate.

Don't worry. Morons like this gutter filth have the same material over and over. They are a waste of space and just follow the narrative of other fellow wastes of space.

Go back to bed. Your opinion is as useful as Someguy from the eels.

[This Year?]

A dream* matchup for a Dragons fan.

*dream may actually be a nightmare.
