Tigers v Sharks - a perspective

[Merlot]

Cronulla (1st grade ) , unsure but expect it would filter thru the grades ,all scrap , together for each other and don't like being bettered than there opposite number , . Where our club seem softer , willing to engage but no enthusiasm to dominate

Sharks have 8 players in the first grade squad that have played together from Harold matt's....this to me is the most glaring difference between them and the Tigers.

Who are they?
I’ve been saying to a sharkies mate for years that the Sharks will be the next Penrith dynasty style club. I wonder if they will go all the way this year?

My bad...they started playing 6 years ago when they won NSW cup with Newtown Jets, still impressive, that 8 have come through and are all solid first graders with 6 years of experience playing together at the highest levels.

Cheers, I recall that as well. A few like Wilton, Brailey, Mulitolo and Trindle would be have been in lower grades again.

Turns out in 2018 Jets made the NSWCup GF with 5 current NRL 17 players.
They also made the 2018 Jersey Flegg cup with another 2.
Also worth noting they were premiers last year in the NSW Cup.
