The exciting win over the Panthers received positive reviews in the press on Monday, with a number of players singled out for outstanding individual performances.
In the days following Sunday’s win Paul Gallen was selected in the Australian Kangaroos squad for the one-off Trans Tasman Test Match, while an Andrew Fifita profile article examined some of the reasons for his stellar form in 2016.
The big Sharks v Broncos clash was previewed and a couple of special features appeared in print and on-line, one relating to ANZAC Day and a military influence assisting the Sharks efforts this season and the other detailing the clubs ground breaking technological advancements in the area of its digital media operations.
After five wins in succession and ahead of the Sharks biggest home game of the 2016 season the media was understandably positive, so in case you missed it, see what they are saying, what they’re writing, in Sharks in the News for April 29.
