Agreed but the Sharks put themselves in that position by being shit for sometime - they seem for the most to have turned the corner.
They will be even better next season with the additions of Esterhuizen, Emmanuel Tsituka, Jason Jenkins, Nyakane and Hendrikse
At least they won the Challenge Cup final anything less would have been unacceptable given the squad they have

Let's just take a moment. Well done sharks, you showed up with your team and your best and did what you should have done all season, winning.
Gloucester is not the best English team and didn't put up much of a fight.
Masuka continued to play brilliantly. However, in the final quarter the old habits came back and that is slipping tackles. Culprit number 1, Mpimpi.
What does mean is that the Saarks have secured their championship spot.
A bit cheeky given that who ever finishes 8th in the URC will not qualify.
This is another example of the URC has too many meaningless matches as the mid table battle would have been interested.
I'm not sure how the URC rank their teams? Does the play-offs even count towards seeding.
For example, what if the lions makes the Semi. Would they be seeded as 4th?
Anyway, just hope the sharks can work on their squad in the off season and get ready for next year.
I really want all the SA teams to dominate the URC and for them to be the top 4 teams.
