[Man of Kent]

Up up Cronulla. Well done.

[Irish Saint]

YES bad luck Graham I'm off to dance up up Cronulla.

[Graham]

Storm were so close to stealing that, even at the end.

[Futtocks]

What a finish! The Storm were all over the Sharks on the last set, but they just managed to hold out.

 

Up, up, Cronulla indeed.

Players trying desperately trying to talk some sense.

[Davo5]

[Graham]

Cam Smith as ever talks sense.

[Graham]

Sharks players are generally so chuffed they are a bit lost for words.

The emotion of the result has got to everyone.

[Farmduck]

Feki off.

Don't tell me to Feki off!

[Graham]

I saw a big group of Storm fans at on end.

Crowd must have been 75% Sharks fans.

Cronulla will want them all there next season.

[Graham]

Don't tell me to Feki off!

Did I say that?

I say old chap, a thousand apologies.

[Just Browny]

Listened to the game on 2GB. They interviewed Jack Bird after the hooter and he said 'f***' five times in less than twenty seconds before they took him off.

[Futtocks]

People talking about the Year of the Drought-busters. Hull FC in the Cup, Cronulla today, Leicester in the Football and, apparently, the AFL final yesterday.

I think some players do it deliberately so the media will leave them alone.

Louis McCarthy-Scarsbrook's media training service goes from strength to strength.

Respect to Storm's senior players who led by example.

Smith looked worn to a frazzle while he was interviewed at the end.

[Graham]

Getting Aussie advert ... Bunnings?

No chaps I think you misheard. I think he was mentioning his team mate Feki... a lot.

Luke Lewis has got the Clive Churchill medal.

Storm being applauded up to the rostrum... With some friendly booing.

Still one of the best players going around. One of my long-term favourites.
