The Cronulla Sharks are a proud NRL club.

Their lone 2016 premiership is one of the greatest we've ever seen, with numerous legends spread across their ring-winning starting 17.

Despite only having the one Provan Summons Trophy, the Sharks have been home to a multitude of elite NRL stars, some of whom would make an all-time rugby league side, as well as this one.

Below is the Cronulla Sharks' greatest ever starting 17.

Another duo that would have very little push back, and perhaps the two most important cultural members of the Sharks' modern history.

Gallen was the heartbeat of the Cronulla Sharks for 18 years.

Over nearly two decades, he carried the side with tireless effort, captaining them to glory and representing the NSW Blues and Australia while doing so.

Andrew Fifita, meanwhile, delivered the defining moment that has been etched into the Sharks' history books.

His barnstorming Grand Final try sealed the 2016 title will forever be immortalised.

Together, they form a fearsome front row pairing.
