In a bittersweet return to the field, Kade Dykes showcased flashes of brilliance despite the Sharks' disappointing 44-18 loss to Newcastle in their Pre-Season Challenge clash.
Sporting the coveted No.
1 jersey, Dykes demonstrated his resilience and determination, clocking up nearly 60 minutes on the pitch after an arduous 553-day absence.
It was a testing afternoon for Cronulla, but Dykes, like a true rugby league warrior, seized the opportunity to remind everyone of his undeniable talent.
Having missed the entirety of the 2023 season due to a debilitating knee injury, his triumphant return was a testament to his unwavering commitment and unwavering spirit.
Though he would have preferred a more favorable outcome, Dykes now has his eyes set on further Sharks action, eager to capitalize on the momentum gained from his impressive comeback.
