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.

Michael Ennis arrived late in his career but changed the club's fortunes dramatically.

His competitiveness, leadership and craft around the ruck were vital in 2016.

His influence extended well beyond the field, galvanising a side on the cusp of history.

While he wasn't a long-serving clubman like many others on this side, he is perhaps one of the most important.
