our nominations for 70s team
Steve Rogers
One of the greatest centres in the post war era, Rogers remains Cronulla's highest ever point scorer. 'Sludge' played 200 games for the Sharks, 19 games for NSW and 21 tests for the Kangaroos. His evasive running and deadly goal kicking made him a crowd favorite and almost brought premiership success to the Shire in 1973 and '78. In 1975 he received the Rothman's Medal and captained Australia in a test against France in 1981.
Tommy Bishop
A Great Britain representative, Bishop was renowned for his uncompromising yet deft play. He almost single handedly led a young Cronulla team to their inaugural grand final in 1973.
Ken Maddison
A powerhouse forward, Maddison pipped Ron Coote for the inaugural Rothman's Medal in 1973. A member of the Dragons' 1966 and '71 grand final sides, Maddison joined the Sharks in 1972 and helped them to their first grand final appearance in 1973. Maddison played one match for NSW and four tests for Australia.
Dane Sorensen
A New Zealand native, Sorensen remains one of Cronulla Sutherland's most loved sons. A Kiwi representative in 1975, Sorensen played 218 games for the Sharks (third behind Andrew Ettingshausen and Mitch Healy).
