Rugby league guru Phil Gould says he personally challenged Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon to bring a vital but difficult to replicate piece from the Roosters to Cronulla. Fitzgibbon has emerged as a potential candidate for NRL coach of the year, with the Sharks currently in the top-four with six wins from nine games. "He's been doing a lot of good things at the Roosters for a long period of time... they brought him back to the Roosters knowing his character and personality is in the Roosters' culture. He's instilled that in a lot of the teams he's been associated with," Gould said "He had a very big responsibility with the Roosters and handled it well, which was why he got recognised by a club like the Sharks to come and be the head coach. "Not only has he done that, but he's gone out and recruited a couple of really good assistant coaches." "The character and personality of this team are very in keeping with what we knew of Craig as a player. He's been able to instil that in his fitness, enthusiasm, grit, and his determination."
