Cronulla Sharks’ recruitment issue, halves puzzle, positional battles

Cronulla are in a really crucial period coming into 2024. They had reasonable success in Craig Fitzgibbon’s first year as an NRL head coach but were knocked out of the finals in straight sets. Last season they scraped into the top eight and fizzled out quickly. They have to be careful not to go backwards again, but with no real recruitment of which to speak, they have to find a way to do it with the same squad.
