Now Burton again.

[Futtocks]

Cronulla's lead has gone for a Burton!

Great try. He’s the star here in this second half.

Job done.

[Graham]

Sharks win19-18

Panthers looked like they would take that with momentum, but no.

[Graham]

FULL TIME

SHARKS 19 - 18 PANTHERS

[Graham]

Panthers back to back defeats, albeit with weakened sides.

 

[Graham]

So a long distance snap drop goal that sneaked over was the difference in the end.

It's a good news  for Sea Eagles, a big win and...

Sea Eagles: The UK's largest bird of prey has been spotted at Loch Lomond for the first time in over a century

A pair of the UK’s largest birds of prey were spotted on the shores of Loch Lomond earlier this year for the first time in over 100 years.

Great win for the Sharks. Could’ve been better, but, won it against all the momentum.

Im just watching coach Josh Hannay having all the players around him as he gives his post game analysis. Will Chambers has two kids there bumbling around.

As far as I am concerned... the post match chat is for the coach and players. If you are a player and want your kids around in the change rooms, do the professional thing and fark them off until the coach has had his say.

Cronulla won it ... looked like losing it ... then nicked it . I don’t think Penrith will be overly worried . They got so close and have all their ammo  to come back. By the way I find Klein a fussy , overly involved ref . He always seems way to visible 

[Graham]

I wish Mr Klein no ill but am surprised he’s lasted so long at the top grade. I remember him when he first started over here at the professional level. His first game in charge involved my UK club Featherstone Rovers in what was then the Northern Ford Premiership away at Workington.

He’s into his forties now. To be fair he keeps very fit.

Yeh and he was rubbish then and way to involved
