Cronulla Sharks enforcer Braden Hamlin-Uele has praised head coach Craig Fitzgibbon ahead of the club’s 2025 campaign.
The Sharks kick-off the NRL pre-season tonight at home in Sydney’s south against the New Zealand Warriors.
Under Fitzgibbon, the Sharks have played finals in three consecutive seasons.
“It shows how connected we are, not only as a team but as a whole club,” the hulking prop told NRL.com.
“Every success we have from Jersey Flegg making the grand final last year, the Jets winning their competition and the NRL side one game off the grand final, it shows how connected we are as a club.
“The feeling of togetherness and family translates to the footy field because if we’re connected off the field, we’re connected on the field.”
