The all-conquering Mossman Sharks have an opportunity to complete one of the most dominant footy seasons in recent memory when they clash against Brothers tomorrow in the CDRL A-Grade grand final.

Under humble and unassuming captain coach Joel Marama the Sharkies’ have been on an unprecedented 15 game winning streak that stretches all the way back to early May.

In fact, the side’s May 7, Round 5, 22-26 result that afternoon is the last time the side has tasted defeat this year.

Since then, they remain unbeaten, taking all before them both, home and away.

Mossman enter the decider as heavy favourites for tomorrow’s clash against a Brothers outfit they have previously taken care of three times throughout the season 20-14 and 40-34.

The latest encounter between the two sides was just two weeks' ago in the qualifying final in which the Sharks ran out resounding 58-16 winners.

“We know Brothers will be tough, they are an extremely talented and competitive team,” Marama told Newsport.

“The previous results against them really mean little at this point. What matters is us focusing on us and playing the footy we need to play on the day."
