Home ground: Toyota Park.

Premierships: Nil.

Finishes over the past three years: 2003 - 12th; 2002 - 4th; 2001 - 4th.

Losses: Nick Youngquest (Dragons), Jye Mullane (Manly).

Money Man: Brett Kimmorley - the linchpin of the Sharks. His short kicking game and deft passing causes havoc for defences.

One to watch: Keith Galloway - this red-headed second-rower got a taste of first grade as a 17-year-old last year. It's his first pre-season with the senior squad and reports are he'll make a big impact in 2004.

Yeah I'll never forget that ANZAC Day game.

Great win and an unreal atmosphere - esp. seeing the drunks rub it into the Stains supporters!

 

[fatshark]

Yep I was there. I couldnt scratch myself by the end of the game as I bought two trays of beers for myself at the start of the game. :?

[SirShire]

I think I also remember The Man f**king it up for the Stains just on the full time siren.... not too sure though seeing as its been nearly 5 years!

 

[shadowboxer]

It should be a annual game instead of the roosters v dragons on anzac day.

 

[Macca]

Nah Anzac day is too good a day on the pizz to cram a footy game in as well.
