Gratuitous shot of our PM "dancing" in the stand. God I hate it when politicians attempt to appear human.

Politicians are all self serving toads. No exceptions. Believe me as someone who has seen them operate here over the last couple of years.

1 minute to full time. Can Panthers run it the length of the field?

[Graham]

No they are shattered. They have run out of puff. They are deceased, gone to the...

That was an amazing finish. I couldn't have seen the Sharks scoring 3 tries in the last 20 minutes. The Fox Sports winning probability at that point was Sharks 3%

Panthers again fail to impress. They had the game won and just went to sleep. The forwards allowed Fifita and the impressive Nikora to run at them and create a platform for Johnston to do his thing. For a team to concede 90-100 metres in a set, shows how poor the defence is. Too many players at the Panthers have been hyped up and doing nothing. Tamou has done little since leaving the Cowboys. Maloney is way off his game and costing his side. Are the Panthers not fit enough? They seemed to have nothing in the tank at the end. Cant see them making the 8s at this rate.

Sharks again very impressive with the youngsters. Fifita put in a great performance considering. Johnston had the ball on a sring the final 20 minnutes. Panthers had no answer. Nikora continues to impress each game and has such great skills and has the potential to be one of the best backrowers in the NRL.Sharks will have gained alot of confidence from this and the young kids dont deserve to be dropped when the injured players like Graham and Moylan come back.

Sharks were bad that first half. They improved a lot that second half. All the same I do think Panthers forwards can’t be as fit as they should be. They fell off the pace at the end and proved to be sitting ducks in a game they should have been able to win given the platform they had.

Good Friday Games:

Kick off times are for UK

[Sports Prophet]

Well I watched that in full and delayed by about an hour and a half.

It became evident to me with that 40-20 from Maloney just how important that wind was.

When Xerri scored I was confident of running over the top of the Panthers (despite a terrible first half performance with the footy).

Its an important win whilst players are out. Onto next week.

Up Up Cronulla!

Bronson Xerri , how exciting is he ? He could put out the light and be in bed before it got dark . Just give him more ball

2min: Campbell Graham try for Bunnies. Reynolds from sideline  converts.  6 - 0

My TV must be on a strange angle. Every second pass today has looked forward.

[Farmduck]

10min: tryish? to Kerrod Holland?

I think Gagai was slipping over then Holland touched him and Gagai hit the ground. I think Holland was heading in a straight line to the ball, his feet made accidental contact with Gagai's and Gagai fell over.....

NO  TRY

[Farmduck]

13 min: off to bunker again after Ofahiki Ogden crashes over ...... not even close to obstruction ,,,,  TRY

Kerrod "Dutchy" Holland converts.    6 - 6

[Farmduck]

.... then the tryscorer knocks on in the kick return.

[Farmduck]

23min: Reynolds penalty Souths 8  -  6

[Farmduck]

27min: Alex Johnston try off a perfect kick through by Cook. Reynolds goal. Bunnies 14 - 6

[Farmduck]

Dogs FB Nick Meaney has some kind of hand injury - split webbing perhaps because there was plenty of blood.

[Farmduck]

39min: try? to Corey Allan but Souths dummy runner took out defender on the outside shoulder of kicker Reynolds. Dogs player milked it for full value but technically, correct NO TRY
