Cronulla have bristled at suggestions theyve peaked too early, pointing to North Queenslands ability to overcome some late-season hiccups in their historic NRL premiership charge last year.The Sharks are desperate to get back in the winners circle against South Sydney this week after going winless the last three weeks and relinquishing top spot.Their draw with Gold Coast to break their 15-game winning streak and losses to Canberra and St George Illawarra were interpreted as signs theyre suffering the yips with a maiden title in sight.However, fullback Ben Barba hit back at suggestions they were dead in the water heading into September.I think thats a bit of rubbish. The Cowboys lost a few last year and went on to win the comp, Barba said.The Sharks are second headed into Mondays clash at ANZ Stadium with the Rabbitohs, just one point behind the Storm and well in the hunt for the minor premiership.The Cowboys lost three of their five regular round games as well as their qualifying final to Brisbane last year, leading many to predict theyd gone off the boil when the whips were cracking.But they recovered in time to make it through to the grand final and beat the Broncos in a golden point classic.Thats just a bit of talk, Barba said of people writing off his side.We won 16 straight and were ladder leaders and now after a few games people forget weve only lost four games so far this year.

Andrew Fifita was emotionally wrecked leading into the grand final with the threat of expulsion from the NRL hanging over the Cronulla prop.Revelations of Fifitas support of convicted one-punch killer Kieran Loveridge, a childhood friend, sparked an on-going investigation by the NRL integrity unit in September.But, according to grand final heros representatives, his treatment by the league officials left him reeling in the weeks before into the Sharks historic premiership victory.They have thrown him under a bus, put it in reverse and then gone over him again, his management company I.Am.Global told Fairfax Media in a statement.Leading into the grand final, Andrew was not in a good head space.He was told his contract could be ripped up, was panicking and went into a bit of depression.It didnt show because he played so well, but he was emotionally wrecked up until the grand final.The Cronulla powerhouse was excluded from the Kangaroos Four Nations squad due to his off-field issues.He was also snubbed for the Clive Churchill medal despite starring in the grand final with a match-winning try.Had he won the prestigious award, he would have given it to his biggest inspiration, now-retired Sharks captain Michael Ennis, according to Fifitas management.ddddddddddddHis management also accused officials of failing to meet with Fifita when he reached out to the NRL, and he was disappointed Australian Rugby League Commission chairman John Grant called for him to start behaving like an adult.But he wants closure over the saga.The 27-year-old prop forward reportedly considered offers to play in either the English Super League or French rugby next year, but that was a worst-case scenario.He has never wanted to leave rugby league or Cronulla, the statement said.It was only that it appeared his contract would be ripped up that he had to consider plan B. It had nothing to do with the Clive Churchill medal or his omission from the Kangaroos squad.We have had to consider other things but only in case he loses his registration. If that doesnt happen, he isnt going anywhere. ' ' '
