The Sharks website is buzzing with news of Brailey's readiness to take on a new, unexpected role as the team eagerly awaits the results of Trindall's scans.

Cronulla's hooker, Blayke Brailey, is poised to step up and fill the crucial halfback position if coach Craig Fitzgibbon decides to make the call.

The Sharks find themselves in a bit of a jam following Trindall's departure in the midst of Saturday night's victory against the Rabbitohs due to a pesky hamstring injury.

With Nicho Hynes already out with an ankle fracture, the team is hoping for his return in Round 27.

Trindall's fate hangs in the balance as he undergoes scans to assess the extent of his injury, leaving the Sharks worried about a potential absence from the squad.

In the meantime, the team is considering other options, such as Niwhai Puru from the Newtown Jets, who showed his skills by leading the team to victory in the NSW Cup against South Sydney.

Puru, originally from Penrith, made the move to Cronulla in 2023 and has worked his way up to the top squad this year.

As the team navigates this unexpected turn of events, Brailey stands ready to embrace whatever challenges come his way on the field.
