Welcome to 2024!
With the new year comes new opportunities. A chance to better oneself and aim for the stars.
By now we've all made our new year's resolutions. Whether it be the old chessnuts like losing weight, chasing that dream job, asking that pretty girl out, or shooting for immortality, we've all now set ours.
So too will each and every NRL club.
Not in any real capacity of course, but let's have some fun and look at what your NRL side's new year's resolution should be!
Please take these as the tongue in cheek comment that they are. I've tried to be serious, where possible, but there's still two months until the NRL season kicks off, so let's have a laugh together.
3. Cronulla Sharks - To win a finals game
The Sharks have missed the finals just once since their 2016 Grand Final win. Unfortunately for fans in the Shire, they've only won one finals game since that grand old day.
Under Craig Fitzgibbon they have hosted three finals games, including two at Shark Park, yet are 0 from three when it comes to wins.
That simply must change in 2024.
2024 shapes as a building, almost bridge year until Addin Fonua Blake arrives for 2025, but another season without a win at the pointy end of the season would create havoc in the minds of Sharks players and fans.
Even a scrappy one-point win in a week one Final will do wonders for the future of the club. They need to get that finals monkey off their back.
