Hall of Fame & Wall of Fame /

On February 18, 2025, the Cronulla Sharks enshrined 11 of their finest-ever players in the club's newly established Hall of Fame.

While the Sharks had previously bestowed Immortal status on five of their absolute best – Andrew Ettingshausen, Gavin Miller, Tommy Bishop, Steve Rogers and Greg Pierce – the Hall of Fame was launched to broaden the scope of greatness and formally recognise more Cronulla legends.

Alongside the Immortals, who earned automatic entry, the inaugural Hall of Fame class featured Dane Sorensen, David Peachey, Mat Rogers, Jason Stevens, Paul Gallen and Brett Kimmorley. The inductees were honoured at a prestigious ceremony at Sharks Stadium, with their images now proudly and permanently displayed on a 'Wall of Fame' near Gate 2 outside the venue.

An esteemed selection panel, comprised of Sharks historian Ashley Taylor, club CEO Dino Mezzatesta and chairman Steve Mace, Immortals Ettingshausen and Miller, and media personalities David Riccio and Phil Rothfield, decided upon the inductees.

To be eligible, players must have met four of the following five conditions:

• Demonstrated exceptional performance on and off the field
• Been an international Test representative. (Including Rugby League World Cup matches)
• Played State of Origin
• Played 100 first-grade games for the Cronulla Sharks or won a premiership with the club.
• Received a Dally M Medal, NRL-recognised award (e.g. Dally M positional award, Provan Summons Medal, Rothmans Medal, Ken Stephen Medal) or a Porter-Gallen Medal/Sharks Player of the Year award.
