On this special episode of the ET Stand Podcast, we sit down with Sharks royalty – Barry Russell.

A local junior who rose through every rep team, Russell went on to become the Cronulla Sharks halfback, Rothmans Medal winner, and later the club’s CEO. In this wide-ranging chat, Barry shares:

His journey from Taren Point Titans junior to Shark Park hero.

- Memories of playing alongside legends like Andrew Ettingshausen, Jonathan Docking, Gavin Miller, and more.

- Winning the Rothmans Medal in 1988 (and the famous white tuxedo story).

- The heartbreak of injuries that cut short some of the Sharks’ greatest late-80s campaigns.

- His transition into administration, taking on the role of Sharks CEO during a challenging period.

- Insights into the NRL today, the future of the Cronulla Sharks, and which players excite him most.

A must-listen for Sharks fans and rugby league tragics alike.
