Cronulla veteran Luke Lewis says his team has never been in a better position to have a tilt at the premiership ahead of their clash with Melbourne tonight at Remondis Stadium.

“We’ve got a really good camaraderie around the place with the team and coaching staff,” Lewis told NRL.com.

“Everyone’s on the same page and knows what we need to do and what we need to do to get right for training and everyone’s putting the team first which I think obviously is a massive priority.

“Having everyone on the field as much as we can, we haven’t had real major injuries, we obviously had ‘Gal’ [Paul Gallen] out for four or five weeks, I’ve missed two games, there’s been a couple of players in and out here and there, Chris Heighington with his suspension, little things like that but it’s good to see, touch wood and hopefully everything stays that way, that we can keep the majority of the players on the park and not use too many players.”
