Shaun Johnson gives off a lovely short ball to a rampaging Josh Curran who crosses for a try. Sione Katoa was on the recieving end of a slick backline movement to score the Sharks’ third try of the afternoon. On the back of a Shaun Johnson kicked which bounced off the head of a Sharks player, Wayde Egan picked up the loose ball and crossed for an easy try under the post “It was Shaun Johnson running the whole set and on this occasion he knew who he wanted to get the ball to and he put Curran on the right player,” Flanagan said. Try-scoring machine Ronaldo Mulitalo crossed for his second four-pointer to quell the Warriors momentum. Dale Finucane becomes the second player of the game to be sent to a sin bin for a hip drop. Johnson converts from next to the post to tie the game up at 30. With five minutes left, Dale Finucane also was given his marching orders for a hip-drop tackle and off the penalty kick the Warriors failed to find the sideline handing the Sharks a crucial play before the penalty goal chaos ensued. Try-scoring machine Mulitalo then crossed for his second four-pointer to quell the Warriors momentum. The reigning Dally M Medallist was unable to get the distance from the sideline, handing the Warriors the win. But it wasn’t over, with the Sharks being handed a penalty for an offside straight off the kick off – giving Nicho Hynes a chance to respond. Warriors halfback Shaun Johnson was then handed a golden opportunity to steal victory with 30 seconds on the clock, slotting the penalty goal to secure two competition points.

Canterbury meets North Queensland in Homebush, as the Warriors celebrate a remarkable 32-30 victory over Cronulla in a match that came down to the wire.

Will Kennedy breezed in for Cronulla and any hope of a Warriors comeback looked to have been extinguished when Niukore was sin-binned for a hip-drop tackle on Siosifa Talakai on the stroke of half-time. A torrential downpour ensued and the match took a further turn when Finucane was sin-binned for his tackle on Nicoll-Klokstad. The Warriors trailed for the near entirety of the match until they were awarded a penalty for a push on Josh Curran as he attempted to catch a loose ball he had hacked ahead. His role in the middle was a far-cry from the five-eighth spot for which he is best remembered by Bulldogs fans, but he brought much-needed energy when the chips were down and finished with 19 tackles. But it was not until Addo-Carr sailed over on the left in the final 45 seconds that the Bulldogs were able to level the scores, having remained on the attack for the final 10 minutes. The Cowboys maintained a slim lead for most of the match and enjoyed the better of first-half chances.

The Warriors may as well remain in Australia and head north to Newcastle with a match schedule against the Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium on Easter Monday. “You sort of know when you’re going like that [in the first half] that it’s not going to stay that way. Cronulla will have a week off with their bye scheduled for Round 6. "It’s one of the best wins I’ve ever been a part of, for different reasons, and that is they just never gave up. - The Sharks led 20-0 after 21 minutes with tries to Teig Wilton, Sione Katoa and Ronaldo Mulitalo. The boys’ attitude and never giving up is just something different, it’s crazy how good it is."
