HYNES WIDE RIGHT! THE WORST WORDS IN BUFFALO! DOLPHINS WIN 30-28!
CRONULLA SCORE ON THE FINAL PLAY OF THE GAME! HYNES CAN WIN WITH A SIDELINE CONVERSION!
Play stops with Herbie Farnworth suffering an ankle injury
He makes no mistake the second time around
The Dolphins will get a penalty out of this as Nicho Hynes is called for an illegal block.
We have a no try referral as we check a knock on and possible interference
No good! Too far to the left
Sione Katoa drops a kick straight into Nicho Hynes and the Dolphins have a penalty from inside the 20. They will take the penalty goal attempt
No mistake
THE HAMMER GOES 100 METRES TO PUT THE DOLPHINS BACK ON TOP! Just a remarkable solo effort to break the line and then beats every single black, white and blue jersey to the line.
No mistake and the Sharks now lead
THE SHARKS HAVE BROUGHT IT RIGHT BACK! A Ronaldo Mulitalo line break sets up William Kennedy on the inside who beats Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow one on one to score the try
No mistake
The Sharks are back with a try! A great back like shift eventually sets Ronaldo Mulitalo up in broken field and he takes advantage.
Quick challenge as the Dolphins look to overturn an illegal strip - but it fails. No more challenges tonight.
We’re back underway - Dolphins use the ball first
That will take us to half time - a dominant opening half hour by the Dolphins, but Cronulla have wrestled back momentum.
Ronaldo Mulitalo makes an error and is not happy - but no challenges left for the Sharkies!
No mistake
There’s fight in the Sharks yet! Briton Nikora just gets on the outside of Isaiya Katoa and uses his strength to force his way across the line.
Isaiya Katoa gives away a penalty - not sure if it was for being not square at marker or for an illegal strip, but it’s a penalty nonetheless
Dolphins had a good chance to score after a scrum but Connelly Lemuelu obstructs the line.
Hero to zero as Royce Hunt makes a mistake inside his own half
No mistake
Sharks set restart right on the Dolphins goal line - and just two plays later Royce Hunt goes over on his first touch of the ball.
Nails it
It’s getting seriously ugly now. A third try assist to Kodi Nikorima as he grubber behind the Sharks line to let Jake Averillo score
The Sharks give up back to back penalties and the Dolphins have walked back inside their half
Leaves it too far to the right
WHAT A RIDICULOUS SOLO EFFORT BY JACK BOSTOCK! Carries two Sharks to the line and still grounds the ball. Chalk up the try assist to Kodi Nikorima
A challenge here by the Sharks looking for a penalty for contact on the kicker, but it fails
Bends it like Beckham
And the Dolphins have gone bang-bang with Kodi Nikorima creating a 3 on 2 and hitting Herbie Farnworth short to get another 4 points
It’s another big mistake by Cronulla - this time a knock on by Ronaldo Mulitalo
No mistake
And the Phins make them pay straight away, with Kenny Bromwich poking his nose through the line and offloading to Max Plath for the try
Big chance for the Dolphins now after Isaiya Katoa forces a drop out
Both teams really going set for set at the moment - Dolphins had a half chance after a penalty but nothing came of it.
We’re underway! Sharks get first use of the ball
For the Dolphins Kodi Nikorima is back after missing Round 13 due to a calf injury, replacing Anthony Milford at five-eighth. Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Felise Kaufusi are both back after serving Origin duty.
There’s a big change for the Sharks - Nicho Hynes returns after being rested last week in what serves as a final chance to retain his place in the NSW squad. Elsewhere Braden Hamlin-Uele is back on the bench at the expense of Tuku Hau Tapuha.
Welcome everyone to the battle of the pescatarians as the Fins (Sharks) host the Phins (Dolphins)
