Sharks Side Named For Trial Match
Sunday, 7 February 2010
SEE YOUR STARS!
Cronulla fans will have the chance to see eight of their new Sharks recruits take the field in their highly anticipated opening trial match against the Manly Sea Eagles.
New recruits Dean Collis, John Morris, Stuart Flanagan, Albert Kelly, Nathan Gardner, Josh Cordoba, Siosaia Vave and Adam Cuthbertson will all make their first appearance since joining the club.
Experienced campaigner, John Morris, will join captain Trent Barrett in the halves while Stuart Flanagan will pull on the number nine jersey to start with. Bookends Luke Douglas and Kade Snowden will again lead from the front after a consistently solid showing last season.
"I will be good to get amongst it again," Douglas said.
"We both had to play a lot of game time last year, so I suppose we'll take on a similar role this season and try our best to lead the forwards around starting this Friday night."
"We've got a lot of depth in key positions, so fingers crossed everyone stays fit and we can keep the same group of players on the field."
In what is sure to be an attractive game for everyone, Sharks fan will get to see their first hit-out of the year at home - Toyota Stadium.
Anthony Tupou and Blake Ferguson were not named in the side after both were selected to play for the NRL and Indigenous All Star sides respectively in the historical match to be played the following night on the Gold Coast.
Paul Gallen, Scott Porter, Paul Aiton and Taulima Tautai were not considered for the match due to injury.
In their return to Toyota Stadium, the Sharks will look to start their season on a high and string a few combinations together early on in the match.
