80min

The Titans can't get back on the ball so it's a Sharks scrum and that'll be the game.

79min

Field Goal: Sharks
Kicked by Chad Townsend.

TOWNSEND PUTS CRONULLA BACK IN FRONT!

Sharks lead Titans 9 - 10 Sharks
79min

Sharks on the break, Dugan with the metres! They'll get in position for a one-pointer!

78min

The Titans with some clever play and Cartwright nearly created something out of nothing from a kick contest... but Ryan James loses it! Cronulla have it coming off their own line.

77min

Field Goal: Titans
Kicked by Ashley Taylor.

SCORES LEVEL! Taylor evens the ledger with a perfectly placed drop-goal.

Tied up at Titans 9 - 9 Sharks
75min

Titans with some enterprising attack down the left side but it ends with Cronulla taking possession.

74min

Cronulla get a relieving penalty after a Titans' chaser was offside from a kick. They still hold a one-point lead.

73min

Time off now with Scott Sorensen (Sharks) down receiving attention after a head knock. He'll go for a HIA as well, Bukuya to rejoin the play.

72min

Jack Stockwell is off for a HIA after copping an earlier knock.

67min

Time is winding down here and it's a real battle of attrition, currently the Titans are giving it everything in attack but still coming up short. Right here they've forced Lee to take it dead so it's another drop-out.

61min

Dugan spills it going back to collect a ricocheted ball and the Titans will have it within the Sharks' 20m.

57min

Titans' fullback Gordon has gone over but failed to ground the ball. We've gone to the Bunker but it's no try. Was the sixth tackle so it's a handover to Cronulla.

52min

A series of errors from both sides has ultimately led to Cronulla being strong on the attack in front of the Titans' line.

48min

Titans now peppering the Sharks' line. Taylor with a clever last-tackle chip kick across the field but Cronulla come up with it.

45min

Conversion: Titans
Kicked by Michael Gordon.

Gordon converts easily from in front.

Sharks lead Titans 8 - 9 Sharks
44min

Try: Titans
Scored by Mitch Rein. Kick to come.

There's no TV evidence of the grounding but as it's gone up as a try, Patten is forced to rule it inconclusive and award the try as per the referee's signal. Rein is in!

Sharks lead Titans 6 - 9 Sharks
44min

Bunker for a possible Titans try to Rein. He's scurried over from dummy half. Checking grounding.

40min

Field Goal: Sharks
Kicked by Chad Townsend.

Townsend adds a solitary point ahead of the break to create a seven-point buffer.

Sharks lead Titans 2 - 9 Sharks
39min

Cronulla still hammering the Titans' line late in this half but with no luck as yet. They force a drop-out with 90 seconds on the clock.

35min

Conversion: Sharks
Attempted by Chad Townsend.

Townsend misses again and the margin remains a converted try.

Sharks lead Titans 2 - 8 Sharks
33min

Try: Sharks
Scored by Edrick Lee. Kick to come.

Sustained pressure finally brings the visitors a second try. Lee is the scorer out wide!

Sharks lead Titans 2 - 8 Sharks
32min

Quite a few penalties being blown and the Sharks are hammering the Titans line. Wondering if we'll see a sin bin soon?

24min

It comes to nothing and now Cronulla are up at their goalmouth looking to apply even more pressure.

22min

Sharks with nothing doing through a couple of attacking phases and now the Titans work up field and get a penalty to help their cause. Onto the attack now for the hosts.

19min

Penalty Sharks about 35m out - they kick for touch and look to apply more pressure.

18min

The Titans are making great metres but capping it with silly errors when they get into the Sharks' danger zone. Difficult to watch although conditions are playing their part.

14min

A huge break down the right side by Jai Arrow, the Titans now throwing it freely across the park and a forward pass is thrown by Brendan Elliot.

12min

Conversion: Sharks
Attempted by Chad Townsend.

The Chad is no good. Townsend misses from out wide.

Sharks lead Titans 2 - 4 Sharks
11min

Try: Sharks
Scored by Valentine Holmes. Kick to come.

After clearing offside, contest, handling, and finally grounding, Valentine Holmes has the opening try of the game.

Sharks lead Titans 2 - 4 Sharks
11min

TRY for Cronulla being referred to the Bunker. Checking onside and a bunch of other stuff...

9min

Penalty Goal: Titans
Kicked by Michael Gordon.

Gordon guides it easily between the sticks for the first points of the evening.

Titans lead Titans 2 - 0 Sharks
7min

They pick up a penalty 10m out in front of the sticks after Cronulla's defenders lagged in the ruck and Rein rook advantage. Looks like Gordon will take the two.

6min

Fairly even contest thus far, the Titans having gotten the closer of the two.

4min

NO TRY. Hurrell is held up and will be asked to play the ball on tackle five.

4min

Bunker for a possible NO TRY to Konrad Hurrell. Checking grounding.

3min

Titans penalty with Moylan caught inside the ten. New set of six starts ten metres inside Cronulla's half.

2min

Konrad Hurrell spills the ball in a tackle, the slippery conditions already taking their toll. Sharks scrum halfway.

1min

We're underway, Gold Coast start us off and the Sharks work through their first set.

Here we go - ANZAC ceremonies complete and despite some drizzle there seems to be a decent crowd in at Cbus. Cronulla will have first use.
