Cronulla Sharks vs Gold Coast Titans
Cronulla managed to put the off-field drama behind them for 80 minutes and played some fantastic pressure football against a determined Titans side. Both teams performed strongly and produced some impressive defensive sets.
In the end only a missed conversion by Aiden Sezer was the difference between the two teams and Cronulla clinched the win. It was a positive performance by both teams especially for the emotional Sharks players who, led by skipper Paul Gallen, dedicated the match to axed coach Shane Flanagan.
Whether the Sharks can continue concentrating while surrounded by such dramas will determine how well they can continue playing. For the Titans it will be some time before their inexperienced halves start to click but with a forward pack featuring Dave Taylor they will get the opportunity.
