Fuzzy Feldt trying to get the winning penalty, but it's a long one to attempt... nope!

Drinkwater seals it with a great try!

[Graham]

Cowboys pulled off a great win in the 89th minute with a try by Scott Drinwater.

A thriller!

Been out of circulation NRLwise today.

I’m looking forward to seeing the Tigers v Storm game in full and highlights of the other two games.

Sunday

Cronulla will be out to improve dramatically over last week’s abysmal show against Melbourne.

They have to believe they can as they host Canterbury Bulldogs. The Dogs have lost four of their last five matches and looked really poor in their against Parramatta.

Bulldogs have lost their past four clashes against the Sharks, it would be a surprise if the home side were unable to return to winning ways in this one.

Still we have had some close calls and bits of upset in the four earlier games this round.

Our tipsters have unanimously gone for a Sharks victory (15/15).

Anyone reckon it’ll be the Doggies’ day?

The big question today isn't can the Shirks win? It's can they play a million per cent better than last week? Amazingly, they are only 2 wins off the top of the ladder and have a very soft draw with most of their remaining games against bottom-half teams but if they can't do better than last week, they'd struggle against Cootamundra, forget NRL teams.

Officially a sellout at the Sharks construction site - Sharkopolis, of you will.
