Overview

• Nicho Hynes scored two tries and supplied two assists to spearhead the Sharks’ 24-12 victory.
• Cronulla’s defence held the Dolphins scoreless for the first 65 minutes after earlier conceding 164 points over five games.
• The win snapped a run of four losses in five matches and elevated the Sharks back into the NRL’s top eight.
• Redcliffe fielded a second-string side missing Kodi Nikorima and Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow, which eased Cronulla’s defensive workload.
• Coach Craig Fitzgibbon urged his squad to sharpen its attacking polish ahead of next week’s clash with the Sydney Roosters.
