The mighty Cronulla Sharks have locked in the signatures of five key players for the upcoming 2025 season, ensuring a strong squad for the battles ahead.
Mawene Hiroti, Niwhai Puru, Billy Burns, Jayden Berrell, and Chris Vea'ila have all committed to another year with the Sharks, keeping the team's depth intact.
These players, who made significant contributions to the Newtown Jets in the previous season, are seen as crucial pieces in the Sharks' puzzle for success.
With a focus on stability and depth, the club is gearing up for a fierce campaign to reclaim their spot among the top contenders.
One player to watch out for is the promising 21-year-old centre, Vea'ila.
Despite not yet making his NRL debut, he has impressed in the NSW Cup, showcasing his skills with ten tries, four assists, and an impressive running game.
His performance in the grand final against the North Sydney Bears proved his potential, and if opportunity knocks, he could soon find himself donning the Sharks jersey in the top flight.
As the Sharks prepare for the challenges ahead, these re-signings serve as a testament to the team's commitment to success and their unwavering determination to rise above the competition.
With a solid foundation in place, the Sharks are poised to make waves in the upcoming season and leave their mark on the rugby league landscape.
