The images, captured and screened by Fox Sports' pre-game dressing room coverage, throw up a number of new questions about how closely Dank was associated with Cronulla's playing roster.
In an email to former Sharks chairman Damian Irvine in February this year, Cronulla coach Shane Flanagan stated of Dank's tenure at the club: "Once our season began Mr Dank's involvement was never direct with the team. He was behind the scenes helping Trent (Elkin) in his area of strength and conditioning."
Yet the dressing room images from the Sharks matches in rounds 7, 8, 11 and 12 of 2011 suggests Dank was closely involved with the team.
They also raise the question: what was Dank doing there if he was told to have "nothing to do with the players" after sacked doctor David Givney sounded the alarm on the club's supplements program in an email dated April 6, 2011.
Cronulla's round seven loss to North Queensland took place on April 23, almost three weeks after Givney emailed Flanagan and sacked football manager Darren Mooney blowing up about Dank's involvement.
The club's round eight loss against South Sydney took place on April 29, while the 40-6 round 11 defeat to Parramatta, where Dank is pictured wearing a Sharks hooded top and polo shirt, was on May 23 - more than six weeks after Givney's warning email.
Finally, after the Sharks suffered a 14-8 defeat to the Storm in Melbourne, Flanagan told Dank he was no longer welcome at the club.
The Daily Telegraph can reveal the supplements program at Cronulla is understood to have been divided into three groups: a weight and mass program, an injury recovery program and a supplement program.
In a statement that he provided to the club in February, sacked football manager Darren Mooney, said he "could not recall" Dank being in the Sharks' inner sanctum at three of the four games in question.
The Daily Telegraph has also learned a number of emails sent and received on the Cronulla Sharks computer system from the 2011 period in question were erased.
However, when the NRL sent forensic accountants from Deloitte into the club in February the emails were recovered and have since been passed on to the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority.
The Daily Telegraph is not suggesting anyone named in the article deleted the emails.
It has also been learned Cronulla's commercial manager Luke Edmonds has been asked by anti-doping authorities to submit to an interview.
The ASADA interviews will begin again on August 1 next week with the NRL to play a role in the process by sending a representative into each interview.
If, in the NRL's view, players are found to have not provided reasonable assistance then the game's governing body has threatened sanctions.
As revealed in The Daily Telegraph Monday via new documents, at least eight Cronulla players including captain Paul Gallen were in negotiations over alleged anti-doping violations in March on the basis that Cronulla staff directed them to use certain supplements, now believed to be prohibited peptides, and were advised the products had been cleared by ASADA.
The documents also showed the Sharks players felt they were let down by the club.
Gallen is believed to have requested three State of Origin payments of $30,000 each, an Australian Test match payment of $20,000 and over $100,000 in sponsorships be included as part of his package.
The NSW State of Origin captain is also believed to have requested two Toyota vehicles and a Harley Davidson motorcycle be compensated.
The other Sharks players in negotiations to accept a six month anti-doping sanction included Wade Graham, Nathan Gardner, Nathan Stapleton, Matthew Wright, Stewart Mills and Jayson Bukuya.
Surprisingly, prop Bryce Gibbs, who was still contracted to Wests Tigers in 2011, was also named in documents obtained by
The Daily Telegraph.
Gibbs was unavailable for comment Tuesday night.
According to statements given to Trish Kavanagh for the independent report into the Sharks supplements program in 2011, Cronulla were subjected to an 11-week regimen of injections, tablets and creams of banned peptides.
At least eight Sharks players were in negotiations exploring anti-doping violations in March, when the club learned that ex-trainer Trent Elkin had become a whistleblower for ASADA.
