Overview

• Cameron McInnes withdrew in the first half of the Indigenous Round clash after reporting right-knee instability and did not return to the field.
• Coach Craig Fitzgibbon described the injury as “not looking good” and acknowledged it could rule McInnes out for the rest of the season.
• Fox Sports commentator Braith Anasta observed footage consistent with a non-contact ACL injury, intensifying early concerns ahead of formal scan results.
• Cronulla’s 54-22 victory over the Gold Coast Titans, highlighted by doubles from Nicho Hynes, Ronaldo Mulitalo and Sione Katoa, lifted the Sharks to sixth on the NRL ladder.
• With a bye next week guaranteeing a top-eight position, the club must now address leadership and depth challenges if their captain faces a long-term absence.
