NRL Dick Smith Nines
A busy day for the Sharks before the NRL Nines kicks off tomorrow included a captain-coach media session, a Fan Meet and Greet and a training session at the Sacred Heart College in Auckland.

Wade Graham, skipper for this weeks’ event joined Shane Flanagan early in the morning to meet with the media and discuss the Sharks chances at the Nines, before joining the rest of the team at a Captain’s run training session.  

A school renowned as a sporting powerhouse in New Zealand, Sacred Heart provided excellent facilities for the Sharks to put the finishing touches on their preparations with field and gym session.

From there it was a quick lunch before the group attended a Fan Day Meet and Greet in the Aotea Square in downtown Auckland.

The Sharks begin their Nines campaign with a game against the Bulldogs at 3.35pm (NZ time, 1.35pm Sydney time), before tackling the Broncos later in the day.

Their final round robin match is against the Roosters on Sunday afternoon (1.40pm NZ time, 11.40am Sydney time).

 

Watch the Nines in the Locker Room

If you're not at Eden Park in Auckland the next best place to watch the NRL Nines tomorrow might well be the Locker Room, a newly created fan facility located at foyer level in Sharkies Leagues Club.
