That’s the message from staunch Cronulla supporter and actor Brendan Cowell, who, like a lot of other Sharkies around the place, would rather you stayed in your own cart.

Should the Sharks down the Storm on Sunday, it will be for the team and their true supporters, not those who leeched on after half a century.

How could a supporter of another club truly understand the emotion boiling within the souls of the Cronulla faithful after five decades without a premiership?

They have been the butt of jokes for an eternity.

"You've never even won a comp, mate."

Trying being told that, repeatedly, for 50 years!

Not even Rabbitohs fans waited that long between drinks, and they were kicked out of the comp!

Do you think the Sharks need you now?

They don't.

Cowell sums things up beautifully, and speaking for a lot of Sharks fans, would rather impartial rugby league supporters barrack for the Storm.

It will make victory even sweeter. 

“Not sure if you have noticed of late but brand new Sharks fans are coming out of the woodwork,” Cowell wrote in a column for NRL.com.

“Like some kind of lifelong sympathy case, people are texting me saying 'Hey buddy, I'm on the Sharks!' like we should be grateful as long-termers. 

“Because it has been a sentence for us. A long and difficult stretch to serve, and the only way for us to truly feel the breeze of freedom is for Sir Gallen to hold that bloody trophy up come Sunday night. New bandwagon believers are not what we need because we have come this far without them.

“Look, I know we lack invention, stealing Canberra's cheer, but winning is new to us. Winning is a new feeling we are only now coming to enjoy. But we will enjoy it, the taste of blood. We will drink it and we will let it spill down our chin because we are wise now, and we are free. I'm sorry Cameron but you cannot wrestle or wriggle or whine your way out of this one. 

“The Sharks are coming home and not even the porch light is safe. We might just eat that too! 

“Up up Cronulla! It's our time.”

Well said, mate.
