Legendary arrival of Andrew 'ET' Ettingshausen at Cronulla Sharks in 1983 Rugby League showdown.
This week in history saw the legendary arrival of Cronulla Sharks Immortal, Andrew 'ET' Ettingshausen, making a landing in the Rugby League world like a missile through the defensive line.
Back in 1983, on March 27 at Orana Park, Campbelltown, ET burst onto the scene in a Round 5 showdown against the Newtown Jets, leaving a trail of defenders in his wake like a speeding bullet.
Starting the year in reserve grade, ET, a Year 12 student at De La Salle College, Cronulla, received the call-up to first grade from coach Terry Fearnley, stepping up to the plate like a true champion.
