Late View.
Sharks had virtually all the possession and position in the first half against Storm with errors in handling by Storm often gifting Cronulla the ball. Their defence though was good keeping the first half tryless.

 

[Graham]

The completion rate from Storm ... appalling

He’s not the best anything atm.

Storm steadied the ship in the second half and did enough to get over the line.

Thought Sharks were lacking in ideas. Johnson for him was ordinary, Morris looked like he was going through the motions in his last game for Cronulla.

What the f**ks the point of the captain's challenge? Non of the team's seem to have a clue how to use it other than having a breather, challenging a knock on call on the handover just proves it. Scrap it.

[Graham]

Scrap it now. A waste of time.
