Cronulla Sharks book preliminary final berth with 32-12 win over disappointing Canberra Raiders
Nicho Hynes said how Shire Club rarely received the praise they deserve during the week, and when they win, the team that usually loses the focus, said bad calls or what players they were injured.
Coach Craig Fitzgibbon under the direction of four flat final series.
Tonight, they defended their lines because they felt like eternity in the first half, but Ronaldo Mulitalo and Hynes scored 12-6 after scored in three minutes.
Matt Timoko was punished for running Mulitalo wholesale, and in the next set, Mulitalo passed when he tears a beautiful cutting ball on his chest. Hynes scored a goal from the next set.
Cronulla, in their previous two matches, gave up only three attempts and entered the game and wasn’t in a mood to give any legs to the raiders.
They continued to turn down the home side and their defenses are extraordinary. Akincilar focused on keeping its players alive and trying to deal with three or four defenders.

The Green Machine returned to Savio Tamale in the second half, but from that moment on Cronulla was under control.
Billy Burns had a soft defense to score Zac Hosking and Fogarty, and then crippled Blayke Braraley to highlight their sharks eight points. Then, Kl Iro sealed the victory when he won an ugly Tindall bomb to mat.
Prop Addin Funda-Blake was perfect. Mulitalo was the upper shelf.

When Tom Starling was handled, there was a moment when Tom Hazelton was knocked out. The double heads clashed. Starling did not do anything wrong, but Hazelton, who grew up in Goulburn nearby, was cold before hitting the ground. A positive thing was the fact that he could walk from the field.
Akincilar Sadık enjoyed a ‘Shoey’ when he found that the club legend Bradley Clyde was blowing Viking’s Horn and a child was on a part -time big screen. For registration, it was a sprite box.
Grant Atkins has to run to arbitrate the big final. Atkins, who listens to the sports ears on the ground, is open with his messaging and like all the good players, he has plenty of time with what he does.
Who knows, the big day can join by sharks.
