Fitzy just said we need to put another 40-minute effort in and that it would've been one of the best days for the club if we got the win, and we did." "Our right edge had a tough day and weren't at the level we need them to be. Our attack needed to be better." "That was probably one of the best games I've been a part of at a club. I didn't think it would've been one-way traffic [after the send off]. I would've thought if we had a shot down there [against 11] we'd come up with points.

“It was wonderful to be a part of that in the back end of that game,” Sharks captain Wade Graham said. “I’d suspect we’d have to work really hard to get to the front. That’s part of the game. It wasn’t a lack of effort, but our execution certainly wasn’t good.” “Fitzy was a great player and ... they’re certainly not going to be a side that lays down. This could be the case for the Sharks and Warriors.

Cronulla fullback Will Kennedy was dismissed in the 16th minute, after a terrible high tackle on Reece Walsh, and that should have been a game-changing moment.

They struggled to put any pressure on the undermanned Sharks and were mostly defending, with back rower Teig Wilton's try coming after six successive goal-line sets, while fifth-tackle options were poor. An audacious flick pass found Daejarn Asi, before Viliami Vailea finished off a perceptive grubber by the five-eighth. It was – but for the wrong team. In front of a vocal crowd, the Sharks struck first with Hynes finishing off a 70-metre move after an incursion on the right edge, with the Warriors getting their defensive numbers wrong. In contrast, the Warriors were a muddle; falling short in effort and execution and being let down by a number of poor decisions and a lack of patience. The home side were inspired, digging deep in a magnificent display, even proving resolute when they were down to 11 men for a 10-minute period in the second half, and becoming the first team to win with 12 men against 13 since 2008.

Cronulla Sharks captain Wade Graham has admitted his side's win over the Warriors was 'right up there' for him in his storied career with the club.

"Our defence on the right-edge had a tough day – they weren’t at the level we needed them to be. We came up with that error and to Cronulla’s credit, they maintained all the possession on their tryline and kept the ball for a long period of time. "We’ve certainly seemed to be training pretty well, but we’re not quite replicating it on the field. “I would have liked to think if you get a shot down there, you’re going to come up with something. We are allowed to move around freely on the field and play eyes-up. “We kept playing our style of footy.

Sharks fullback Will Kennedy was sent off in the 16th minute for a dreadful tackle around the neck of Reece Walsh after being sidestepped.

Addin Fonua-Blake was just as good against Toby Rudolf. For the remainder of the half it was like the Sharks were playing with an extra man, rather than the Warriors, and they were unfortunate to go into the sheds only up 12-10.
