So with the wooden spoon now all but confirmed to be headed to God's Country this season, we can now only look towards the future and what few positives have come out of this shocking year we have endured. Not forgetting we still have two games left to play.
Lets start with the negatives and get them out of the way:
-Wooden spoon, shit way to finish a week that gave us so much motivation to win.
-ASADA investigation was quiet for most of the year until the last few weeks, and came to a decision. It's gone on for way to f**king long and hopefully is over.
-Injuries absolutely decimated us right from the beginning of the season, we never really stood a chance this season. Did we ever field a full strength, fully fit seventeen all year?
-We have lost one of our most promising young stars, Lichaa, to the Dogs for next season and beyond. He may not have lived up to all the hype but he has certainly been decent.
-We have also lost one of the most marketable players the clubs ever had, Beau Ryan, to a premature retirement. Hopefully he gets a job of some sort with the club, maybe in marketing?
-Lewis didn't have his heart in it, he played what, maybe 4 or 5 games for us? As usual him and his partner in crime Gallen were fully focused on State of f**king Origin once again.
-Fifita did not spark at all this season, maybe a side affect of the contract drama at the start of the season.
-Throwing poor old Peter Sharp into the deep end, having him eventually quit.
-Dud recruits such as Prior, Ayshford, Holdsworth and Eric Grothe Jr. did f**k all, another masterstroke from Flanagan.
-Using an astonishing 35 players across thus far after 24 rounds.
-We re-signed Flanagan for another three God damn years.
-Carney pisses his career up a wall...
-More board bullshit
And finally
-Messiah is still here.
Positives
-Massive come back wins against the Roosters, Brisbane, as well as beating Penrith twice and the Warriors at home.
-Promising youngsters such as Lichaa, Politoni, Brown and Sopoaga all getting a decent run in first grade and towards the back end of the year we finally saw the debut of Val Holmes who we have seen can be a fine player with a couple years experience in the top grade.
-We managed to pick a few good sponsors, we ended up having a jersey full of them which is always a positive.
-Michael Gordon having an absolutely outstanding season in a struggling team, anyone who thinks he is crap needs to give themselves an uppercut.
As the saying goes, its always darkest just before the dawn. 2015 can be the beginning of the Sharks comeback but from this ASADA shit it might take a number of years to rebuild. I can't wait for this horror season to end. We got to stick by our boys, its been a hard season for them as well as us as supporters.
