After an impressive inaugural campaign that saw many highs and lows, the core group of the Sharks have returned for the 2024 season. Last season also saw the club give many of the younger players experience in the top women's competition.
After transitioning from fullback to five-eighth last season, Emma Tonegato will be eager to make a bigger impact in the halves, whilst former NSW Under-19s duo Jada Taylor and Andie Robinson will be looking to cement their positions in the team.
The Sharks currently have four vacant spots for their 2024 roster.
