Craig Fitzgibbon has broken his silence to defend Cronulla against suggestions they bungled the recruitment of Adam Reynolds. On Tuesday the incoming Sharks coach said he was not scratching around for players to revive the club, with his attention fixed on retaining the off-contract personnel who could be an asset next season and beyond. Fitzgibbon said talking to Reynolds was a no-brainer but he's far from desperate to totally overhaul the Sharks roster. "The reason for going after Adam was pretty obvious ... the standard he plays at," the Roosters assistant coach said. "But the whole reason I took the position on in the first place is I see a lot of potential in the players there at the club." "I'm cool with that. I get how it works, it's just not appropriate," he said. "Off-contract players are different. "But it's not about that, like I said it's just this perception that we're screaming and scratching for players ... I'm really comfortable with what I've got at the Sharks. "I want to go and work with the players that are there."
