Not surprisingly, the Sharks have attracted widespread media attention following their victory over Souths in the elimination final last Sunday.

The Sharks have been praised for their performance, with plenty of judges prepared to give them a chance of repeating the dose when they travel to Townsville to take on the Cowboys this weekend.

In Sharks in the News we provide all the match reports and the stories on the issues and incidents which created the headlines after the full time whistle had been blown.

The Michael Ennis charge, which resulted in his being cleared to play, the ‘feud’ between Phil Gould and Paul Gallen and the performance of young gun Jack Bird, just some of the topics warranting coverage.

In case you missed it, see what they’re saying, what they’re writing, in Sharks in the News for September 15.
