Inside the secret camp that helped get Sharks season back on track

Sharks captain Blayke Brailey has shared insights about a crucial leadership camp that enabled Cronulla to regroup after the injury of Cameron McInnes, setting the stage for a strong postseason run.

After suffering a setback in Round 25, when scans revealed that their captain had torn his ACL just days prior, the team needed to regroup.

The timing of the week off was essential, allowing the leadership group to convene in Brighton for a strategy session aimed at moving forward.

During this camp, coach Craig Fitzgibbon announced that Brailey would assume the role of captain, laying the groundwork for a postseason campaign.

This weekend, the Sharks are set to take on the Raiders in their semi-final, and Brailey noted that the leadership camp was instrumental in reorienting their season.

Instead of being overwhelmed by the responsibilities of leadership, Hynes remarked that Brailey has embraced the chance to lead confidently.
