The Great Whites Interview Series - Phil Bailey

This is the third episode of The Great Whites interview series, where we have the honour of sitting down with former Cronulla Sharks players for a detailed look at their playing career, how they got there and in some cases, what they are up to now. It's a collaboration between SharkCast and the Cronulla Sharks, with club historian Ashley Taylor and the Sharks media crew assisting to make this all possible. Older fans can remember and get new insights into some of their memories, and younger fans can learn from and about these great players and the history of our club.You can watch the entire interview at www.sharks.com.au from Wednesday December 10th (released mid/late afternoon) and we encourage you to do so!On this episode we talk with Shark #345 Phil Bailey!
