Cronulla Sharks a Chance of NRL Top 4 2008

Its oh so close, the Cronulla Sharks under Ricky Stuart are a chance at not only securing a Top 8 berth (already done) but are capable of grabbing a home final or even a top 2 spot as this years NRL finals approach.

Toyota Park would be an ideal launch pad for a Grand Final assault in the weeks following for the solid, gritty Sharks.

In a year with few setbacks, the discipline of Paul Gallen seems to be on the improve and Greg Bird is expected back in the weeks ahead.

Cross your fingers Shire folks, the Cronulla mob could be a real chance after so much pain over their Rugby League lives.
