Inglis in after bunnies pass ball like Harlem Globetrotters

Reynolds converts so 16-6 to Souths. This could be a massacre.

I'm too cheap to pay the extra $20/month for the HD package

[Farmduck]

Too easy for Souths. They needed to this game to tune up for the finals.

[Farmduck]

A couple of these tries had forward passes but, even so, Newcastle are just here to make up the numbers.

 

37mins: 30-6 and that's with Reynolds missing a few goals.

[Farmduck]

HT: Souths 36-6 with GI already scoring a treble.

Mate I live in an area that doesn't even have cable,so unless I want to pay for satellite it's FTA games on Friday / Sunday & online audio for the rest

Looks like the bunnies are really kicking into 'Finals Mode'

I don't have cable, just satellite Foxtel. When the new streets are built here we'll have NBN. Don't you watch online?  http://www.realstreamunited.com//rugby-live-streaming-video.html

Had a few dramas with streaming,so I usually pass on it.

We watch that many channels that are HD here,so the equivalent payment in £ is worth it for us.

[Graham]

The usual suspects look like they are all coming into form for the finals BR

[Graham]

Half time at sunny Belmore.
Sharks game plan working by containing Bulldogs. Close game. Bulldogs only had 44% podsession in that half. They need better completion rate and momentum. Big crowd on Doggies side.
6-4 to Sharks

[Graham]

Second half. Sharks frustrating Dogs.

picking up ground from penalties won. Gallen now over for try. They are dictating how game is played up to press.

12-4 to Sharks.

[Graham]

Sharks running this game. In for another try winger scoring from kick to him.

16-4 to Cronulla

[Graham]

Bulldogs get a try and are trying to step up the pace. Crowd reviving.

[Graham]

16-10 to Sharks still though.

[Graham]

Sharks clever at breaking up play. Long injury pauses when player eventually gets up and turns out to be ok.

Dogs over but video ref looking for something. Not clear what!!!

Try

18-16 to Sharks. 2 minutes to go

[Graham]

Sharks win in a game when Dogs we out-thought and beaten by a craftier side. Tellingly abd aptly man of the match was Michael Ennis.

Final score: Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs 16 - 18 Cronulla Sutherland Sharks
