Siren sounds. The Dogs have won their first game of the year and they had to work for 80 minutes to do it. Next week they'll take on Parramatta while the Sharks will travel to Melbourne to take on the Storm

10 seconds

Dogs have gone nowhere this set. Flanagan kicks from inside the 20. Here come the Sharks

Corey Waddell stays in the field of play. 2 minutes to go, Dogs working it out from their own end. Sharks should get one more opportunity

Bradley Deitz is in some discomfort right now, with play currently paused

Josh Dugan is unable to reel in a poor pass from Chad Townsend. The Sharks have been insipid in attack this game

Sharks will get a penalty however after Kyle Flanagan pushed Will Kennedy late

Will Kennedy's pass sails over the sideline.

Jesse Ramien went over but the last pass was called forward. The crowd don't like it but it was probably the right call

Another set restart for CRO on the 4th tackle this time

Set restart for CRO

Chad Townsend's kick doesn't penetrate the line, with Kyle Flanagan making a good catch. Dogs survive

Going upstairs for a possible Sharks try but the ref thinks there was an obstruction in the leadup

Set restart for CBY on the first

Sharks won the scrum against the feed but the ref has called it back for some reason

Jack Williams now knocking on for the Sharks

Penalty to the Dogs

Connor Tracey is taken over the sideline by Nick Cotric

Sharks were awarded 6 more but knock on straight away. The advantage hadn't been played so it'll be a penalty for the Sharks

Penalty to the Sharks for a high shot from Corey Waddell

2nd half about to get underway. Brandon Wakeham has been activated as the 18th man considering Matt Doorey won't be returning as a result of foul play

Nevermind, the call has been overturned and the Dogs will bring it out to the 20

Repeat set coming up for the Sharks

Penalty to the Sharks for an illegal strip from Katoa

The bounce of Flanagan's kick favours Cronulla, it goes dead but they really haven't looked very threatening tonight

Adam Elliott absolutely butchers a 3 on 1 overlap, deciding instead of going through the hands that he'd put a grubber in that hits the back fence and gifts the Sharks 7 tackles

Corey Allan puts a kick in and Kennedy does a good job to clean up but the Sharks are really struggling to make metres here

Siosifa Talakai pulls off a huge hit on Matt Doorey

Teig Wilton knocks on and the ball goes dead in goal. Dogs now on the attack

It's a penalty to the Sharks after it's ruled Flanagan obstructed a Sharks player running to tackle the dogs player off the kick off. He challenges but it is unsuccessful. Sharks need to hit back here

Challenge is unsuccessful, Bulldogs with another attacking set coming up

Ref has ruled the Sharks knocked on but they're challenging

Hiroti lost it short of the line and the Dogs are now the ones working it out of their own end

The Sharks again spread the ball on the last and we are going upstairs but there's no way Mawene Hiroti got this ball down

Blayke Brailey makes a strong run down the middle from dummy half to give the Sharks some momentum

Bulldogs run it on the last for some reason and it'll be a handover with Cronulla to work it out of their own end

It isn't a try for the Dogs, Connor Tracey made a mess of the grubber however Adam Elliott knocked on in trying to regather. Bulldogs will win the scrum 10 metres away from the Sharks line.

Bunker is still reviewing this

Tuipulotu Katoa has been awarded a try for the Bulldogs but the bunker hasn't confirmed anything yet

It isn't a try, Mawene Hiroti made a mess of the grounding. It won't be a scrum as I said before as the ref ruled advantage had been played. The Bulldogs will have a 7 tackle set commencing from the 20

Nick Cotric makes a great catch however he loses it as soon as he hits the ground. Siosifa Talakai got it back to Rudolf, who got it to Townsend who spread it wide to Shaun Johnson, who used his pace to set up Mawene Hiroti in the corner. The ref has awarded the try however the bunker are yet to approve it. Worst case scenario for the Sharks is a scrum 15 metres away from the Dogs line

Set restart for CRO

Napa hits it up. In this game he has already exceeded his average of 7 runs per game

Challenge is successful with Aaron Woods ruled to have illegally stripped the ball. Bulldogs get another penalty

No try confirmed, the Bulldogs will get a penalty for the double movement

Going upstairs to check for a possible Sharks try however the ref thinks it was a double movement from Jesse Ramien

Another set restart for CRO

Connor Tracey beats a few defenders on the kick return and is rewarded with a six again on the first tackle that definitely helps the Sharks heaps.

Napa again hits it up from the kickoff.

Luke Thompson's offload goes to ground after rebounding off a Shark. Cronulla survive and have the ball
