The Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks are riding a wave of success in the Jersey Flegg Cup after a heart-to-heart chat ignited a spark in the team over two months ago.
They are now on the brink of reaching the finals and will face off against the formidable Canberra Raiders in the Under 21s Preliminary Final at Leichhardt Oval this Saturday.
The turning point for the Sharks came after a narrow 24-22 defeat to the Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs in Round 19, which left them sitting in eighth place on the ladder.
Despite this setback, the team remained steadfast in their determination to crack the top five and have since gone from strength to strength.
With their eyes on the prize, the Sharks have shown great tenacity and resilience as they push forward in pursuit of their goal.
Armed with a newfound sense of belief and camaraderie, the team is ready to take on the challenge ahead and fight tooth and nail for a spot in the finals.
It's a true testament to the spirit of Rugby League and the unbreakable bond that exists within the team.
