The Cronulla Sharks have never won a premiership but that could change this year according to forward Wade Graham who says his club has never been tighter.

“I love playing with this side,” Graham said.

“We’ve had 25 players this year who have played first grade and it’s the 25 who, if we were lucky enough to make the grand final, it’s not just about the team who wins it that night it’s the squad who have helped all the way through the season.

“I just love the boys and camaraderie we have got.

“I know everyone’s going to turn up and rip in for each other and if something goes wrong then we’re going to be here for one another.

“That’s what we have built our season around and it’s what has gotten us to where we are at the moment.”

The Sharks travel to Pirtek Stadium this weekend to face Parramatta for the Johnny Mannah Cup.
