PENALTY SHARKS - Cowboys again give away a penalty when the Sharks are near their own line.

PENALTY COWBOYS - They find touch 10m shy of halfway

Trindall tries to burrow over for a try but is stopped short but somehow, amongst all the arms and bodies, he gets an offload away which pops straight up, Brailey catches it and dives over to score. Bunker then ruled that the pass went forward, not by much though.

PENALTY SHARKS - Taulagi on report for a high shot. Sharks 20m from the Cowboys line

Cowboys ran it on the last! Didn't achieve anything but it was nice to see some variation on their last tackle

SCRUM COWBOYS then PENALTY COWBOYS - Shot clock infringement by the Sharks

Second tackle of Sharks set and Hamlin-Uele dropped it cold

PENALTY SHARKS - 20m from the Cowboys line.

Cowboys with their standard kick on the last to nobody. Hynes took it clean under the posts, raced to the 20, took a quick tap and then put Stonestreet on a long run downfield, before Purdue brought him down 10m shy of the Cowboys line. Purdue then hung on too long

PENALTY COWBOYS - Sharks have had a brainfart there. Brailey loses the ball in a tackle and Kennedy casually picks it up from an offside position.

Sharks looked the better of the two sides in the first, can they go on with it, or will the Cowboys reel them in?

PENALTY COWBOYS - Nikora slipped through a gap that had a team mate standing in it. No try.

Off to the Bunker, looks like Sharks will be denied a try due to obstruction

Taulagi gets into the Sharks ingoal and looks to score, but Kennedy twists him around and makes him step on the sideline before getting the ball down. Brilliant try saver!

Ramien taps it along, but it goes behind his winger and into touch

Trindall grubbers and Drinkwater taps it dead. Cowboys dropout

PENALTY SHARKS - Thats Drinks....

Cowboys seemingly have decided that all points have to come from kicks. Has Paul McGregor picked up an assistant coaching role at the Cowboys?

SCRUM COWBOYS - Stonestreet goes up high to diffuse a bomb, but loses the ball when bumps into a Qantas airbus

PENALTY COWBOYS - Over the shoulder tackle by Stonestreet. Cowboys get out of jail and find touch just shy of halfway

More Set restart Sharks

Set restart Sharks

SCRUM SHARKS - Purdue fumbles the ball at dummy half, 35m from the Cowboys line

Both sides keeping it simple and effective thus far. Played largely through the middle
