There's been a dogs breakfast in the Sharks in-goal. Trindall cleans up a kick in his own in-goal, loses the ball, it bounces off Cook's head, got juggled/fumbled forward by Cook into Katoa who fumbled it forward and Souths grounded it, but the Bunker just says "that was crap, no points for anyone" (probably)

Stonestreet finally gets a try, on the back end of a nice catch and pass play by the Sharks left edge
