Cronulla are hoping a number of returning players can boost their spirits after being hammered by rivals St George Illawarra on Sunday at Kogarah.

“I’ve got a sore neck from looking down one end of the field the whole game – we just did not get over the 50,” coach Shane Flanagan said.

“We get a few back next week, we get four back.

“We have [Sosaia] Feki, Ricky Leutele, Chris Heighington and hopefully the big boy [Gallen] is back.”

The Sharks will host the Sydney Roosters next Sunday.
