Dugan gets call to No.1

JOSH Dugan appears on the verge of claiming Cronulla’s No.1 jersey from Valentine Holmes, with coach Shane Flanagan revealing they will share the fullback role against St George Illawarra tonight.

The Sharks’ No.1 position has dominated the lead-up to the local derby in Cronulla, after Holmes’ unhappy night in their season-opening loss to North Queensland.

Flanagan revealed yesterday he had changed the shape of the role heading into the game against Dugan’s former club, with the pair both set to spend stints at the back.

“They’ll share the role,” Flanagan said. “I think it will work well. We did it in the trials so it’s nothing new.”
