The duty for steering the Sharks ship this season has been given to Kiwi, former All Black Dan Braid.
News broke on Tuesday and personally, I believe it to be a great choice. Dan is vocal and with his wealth of experience, I believe he will do well in the role. Dan came to the club late into last season, and his presence on the field was instantly felt. The Sharks survived, and this season is looking promising.
