The Cronulla Sharks made it four wins in a row with a 32–16 victory over the South Sydney Rabbitohs, overcoming injuries, a controversial sin bin and a disrupted backline to collect another important two competition points.
Boldo and Franko break down a performance that was more resilient than the final scoreline might suggest, with the Sharks playing the entire second half with only two available players on the bench after injuries to KL Iro and Siosifa Talakai.
The boys discuss Teig Wilton’s controversial sin bin for a head clash, the forward passes that appeared to be missed, and the way Cronulla continued to control the match despite spending time with 12 players.
There is plenty of praise for Addin Fonua-Blake, whose introduction helped change the momentum through the middle, along with Nicho Hynes and Braydon Trindall’s control of the game, Blayke Brailey’s kicking and a powerful Sharks interchange bench.
Nicho also kicked a perfect six from six, extending his incredible streak to 32 consecutive successful kicks and moving within four kicks of breaking the NRL record.
The panel also discusses:
• The latest information on Talakai’s biceps injury
• Who could replace Iro and Talakai in the centres
• Whether Mawene Hiroti is the safest option against the Dragons
• The Sharks’ ability to adapt after their backline was reshuffled
• AFB’s impact from the bench and his first try of the season
• The strength of Cronulla’s forward rotation
• The Sharks’ chances of finishing second or third
• Whether this team is beginning to create some 2016 feelings
• The listeners’ Bally M Player of the Year votes
