I understand what you are saying, just saying that I disagree, yes the Sharks had a good start but that does not mean that they have the best chances.
They have the best chance they have ever had in that they miss the chiefs. And they play other contenders at home(Waratahs, Highlanders) with a breezy tour (Rebels, Crusaders <-who all of a sudden suck, Blues) that has only one contender - Brumbies. Add to this a falling stormers outfit and the dejected cheetahs and their schedule suddenly looks sweeter than it ever has. And starting at home helps too - those wins build spirit, something that has been taken away from the WP / Cheetahs.
That said, one would be a fool to right us off. We're playing surprising well and we're showing true depth and spirit in our performances. Let's hope we can sustain it. I cannot help but wonder if we would be in the same position if we still had Spies. Without being ugly or rude, I don't think he has been a good captain.
