40min

Half-time here on the Gold Coast and the Warriors will be disappointed with the outcome of the first half after dominating the first 20 minutes.

Great grubber from Talakai who earns his side an important repeat set as they look to take advantage of their extra number and in fact it's going to be a penalty to the Sharks for a late tackle by Josh Curran. It's falling apart for the Warriors

35min

Terrible bit of discipline from Evans who now finds himself in the bin for striking at Will Chambers. Big chance for the Sharks to take the lead before half-time

35min

Error from Kane Evans as he losses the ball in the tackle. Evans retaliated by striking at Will Chambers and it could put him in trouble here

32min

28min

Conversion: Sharks
Kicked by Braydon Trindall.

Trindall levels the scores with a simple kick

Tied up at Warriors 6 - 6 Sharks
28min

Try: Sharks
Scored by Connor Tracey. Kick to come.

20min

19min

Repeat set for the Sharks after a class grubber kick from Connor Tracey

17min

The grubber from Walsh has too much power on it from Watene-Zelezniak to control it. The Sharks now have time to respond with a seven tackle set

An error that was definitely not needed by the Sharks. O'Sullivan puts pressure on Kennedy as he tries to retrieve the ball but in the posses, losses the ball

11min

Penalty to the Warriors courtesy of a Braydon Trindall high tackle on Peta Hiku. Big release of pressure from the Sharks
