NRL: Sharks looking at Taupo

There are no sharks in Lake Taupo, but the town could be hosting some Sharks of a different kind next year.

NRL side the Cronulla Sharks are eyeing up Taupo's Owen Delaney Park as a possible venue for future matches, RadioLIVE reported.

The club's chairman Damien Irvine visited Taupo yesterday to inspect the ground.

A $600,000 dollar deal between the Taupo District Council and the NRL club could be on the table which would see one match a season there for the next three years.
