Mako Shark
Position: Fullback or wing
Age: 22
Height: 6ft 1in
Weight: 13st 4lb (85kg)
Games: 68
A local junior who starred for the Sharks when he came on as a replacement in the dramatic 1973 grand final against Manly. Regular fullback Fisher was injured in that game and Bourke exceeded even the expectations of his own supporters.
He scored the try which put Cronulla in with a winning chance and brilliantly tackled Manly attackers when things looked grim for Cronulla.
Prefers to play fullback but is equally at home on the wing. His height is an advantage these days for a fullback because they have to leap above the charging opposition to take high balls under extreme pressure.
