The Warriors have had the upper-hand in this match, but it’s just two points the difference as we near half-time after KL Iro scores.

After attempting to crack through the New Zealand defence on the right edge, the Sharks swing back to the left where they’ve had success before.

Nicho Hynes puts in a cross-field kick, and following a bat back from Mawene Hiroti, Braydon Trindall cleans up the ball and gets it to Iro on the outside.

Things keep getting worse for Cronulla, with skipper Cameron McInnes take from the field for a head injury assessment for a head clash. Siosifa Talakai comes into the contest.

Just when the Sharks start to get some momentum, Oregon Kaufusi puts the ball down.

Add to that Briton Nikora giving away a lazy penalty for a late hit on Chanel Harris-Tavita, and the Warriors opt to take the extra two points.

Luke Metcalf nails the kick and it’s a converted try the difference.

Mawene Hiroti couldn’t stop a try at the other end of the field, but now he has a four-pointer of his own thanks to a Jesse Ramien line break.

Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad comes dangerously close to a professional foul (and sin bin) for slowing down the play-the-ball after making a tackle on Ramien, but the Warriors fullback gets away with just a set restart.

It doesn’t matter either way. Cronulla have the numbers in attack, and play catch-and-pass to Hiroti out on the left edge to score.

Nicho Hynes bends the conversion back in, which means we have a four-point game.

The Warriors are off to a flyer in the Shire, with Adam Pompey scoring the visitors second try of the night.

Will Kennedy loses the ball on the line from a little Chanel Harris-Tavita kick, and Pompey is there to clean up the mess.
