MICK'S PICK - 9th LAST YEAR - 11th
MICK'S COMMENTS - The Sharks had an injury plagued 1998 and will be hoping that 99 isn't a repeat of that. They have lost their playmaker in Paul Green and will need Jason Ferris from the Cowboys to fill his shoes comfortably, otherwise it could be a long season for the Sharks. I think they will struggle to beat the quality teams and this will leave them out of the finals come August. Look for ET to have a big year nearing the end of his career and especially seeing as though he has retired from Rep duty.
