The Sharks aim to open their newly named Ocean Protect Stadium with a victory against the Titans in the season opener on Saturday night.
As they celebrate their ten-year premiership anniversary, Cronulla dreams of adding another title after reaching consecutive preliminary finals.
Coach Craig Fitzgibbon's team is prepared to face challenges this year, starting their journey against a familiar opponent.
This highly anticipated Round 1 matchup will see former Sharks assistant Josh Hannay return to the Shire as the new Gold Coast coach.
The Titans have shown great promise, defeating the Dolphins and Storm in the Pre-Season Challenge without a loss.
Cronulla also displayed their potential in trials, achieving a commanding 48-6 victory over the Raiders in their last outing.
When asked about Hannay's knowledge of the Sharks' strategies, star prop Addin Fonua-Blake dismissed any worries.
