I was emailed a letter from Stuey, via the club.
It was blank.
Much like his instructions to the team i suspect.

A LETTER TO ALL SHARKS FANS, FROM COACH, STUART RAPER
Dear Sharks Supporters,
We have been successful in securing a spot in the upcoming final series after what has been
the most competitive season in the history of NRL.
And along the way we have enjoyed some impressive vitories - the record
win against Manly at home was something special, excellent away wins
against a couple of other semi final qualifiers in the Eels and the Storm,
as well as home field victories over the Cowboys and Roosters, were some
of the other highlights during our 2005 campaign.
Plus, in an indication that the future is bright, not only have we
blooded a number of young up and comers in first grade this year, but
our Premier League and Jersey Flegg teams have also made it through to
the playoffs, giving us three teams in teh finals for the first time in recent memory.
But our job is far from over. Making the finals is one thing, making
an impression once you're there is another. And we are all determined
and focused on doing just that.
The coaching staff and players are getting excited about next week and beyond - and we would
like to think that you, the fans, might be just
as excited about what lies ahead.
You have been great with your support throughout 2005. Our crowd
numbers are the best they have ever been in the history of the Sharks -
so we certainly thank you for that. Plus our major sponsor LG
Electronics, has also shown its faith in the Sharks by signing on again
for 2006.
BUT DON'T STOP NOW! Wherever our finals will be held, do your best to
come along and to cheer and encourage the boys and to play your part in making this a
memorable year for the Sharks.
So get the Sharks colours out, wear them to games, maybe put them on
your car and decorate the Sutherland Shire in blue, black and white.
Get excited and get behind the Sharks.
It's a whole new competition now, there are just eight teams left and we
are ready to rip in and give those games we have remaining, our very
best shot. Let's get excited!
Stuart Raper
Sharks Coach
