12 all

This is a huge second half coming up for the Cowboys. If they fail to blow away the Sharks in the second 40, what does it do to their confidence before hosting the Eagles next week? For the Sharks, it's all about pride. They can be very proud of that opening half, but it could still come un stuck if they don't come out with similar intent.

Very competitive half. The Sharks will obviously be a mile happier with the scoreline than their hosts. Thurston looks keen to blow this game wide open, but the Sharks aren't going to go down without a fight. Big second half coming up here.
