Despite a poor return on their first season back in WFR, the majority of last years Sharks find themselves returning to the Silver n Black!
A year older n wiser the investment in youth should start to return dividends for the team & much improvement is expected this term from the likes of the Armitage brothers & James Haskell to name a few.
The most significant change to the squad sees the addition of England props, Tim Payne & Dave Flatman. Both players are expected to start & make an immediate impact for a front five that failed to make the grade last season.
Another new signing saw the arrival of Kiwi, Tane Tu'ipulotu who is equally adapt in the 10 or 12 channel. Tane is expected to start at 12 & his experience will give the young Ben Thompson an outlet & more importantly licence to set the back three loose.
The coaching staff normally like to keep things under wraps but the mood from the camp is one of a growing confidence
