Former Sharks lining up for legal action

The plantiff list has doubled as former Cronulla players look to sue the club in relation to the 2011 supplements program which saw several players suspended from action in 2014.

Albert Kelly, Paul Aiton and Dean Collis have joined Isaac Gordon, Broderick Wright and Josh Cordoba in seeking compensation, with four more unnamed players said to be considering a similar path of action.

Kelly and Aiton were recently served with infraction notices after rejecting deals that most of their former teammates accepted in 2014, and could face two years out of action as a result.
