Sharks' prop transformed by accountability and coach's influence

LeagueNews.co | Jason Patrick

Shark's star prop, Addin Fonua-Blake, didn't sign on the dotted line in a stuffy office.

Nope, his move to the Cronulla Sharks was sealed on a sponsor's boat, where new coach Craig Fitzgibbon hit him with a classic sporting one-liner: "What would you bring to my team?"

Fonua-Blake was taken aback at first, but he quickly gathered his thoughts and responded with a quintessential sporting sentiment: "I'll be giving my all, every single day.

I'll be leaving it all out on the field, mate."

This wasn't just a chat about signing a contract - it was a glimpse into Fitzgibbon's coaching style.

Direct, committed, and born from his own days of blood, sweat, and tears on the field.

The Sharks are in for one heck of a ride with these two at the helm.
