Community belief: Sutherland Shire gets behind the Sharks

Sharks fan websites reveal one house has been repainted blue, black and white, another supporter has resprayed his car and signs are going up everywhere.

One of the best comments was posted by ​Shanon Bates, who is well known for his courage and indomitable spirit despite being confined to a wheelchair for 39 years after developing spina bifida as a child.

There are many images of porch lights, in reference to super coach Jack Gibson’s comment that “Waiting for Cronulla to win a premiership is like leaving the porch light on for Harold Holt”.
