Sharks snatch victory with late field goal

Harris-Tavita gets taken off the ball and Pompey will have a shot to send us to golden point.

It’s a tough kick. Thirty metres out and on the scrum line.

Can he do it? He lines it up…..IT’S WIDE!

CRONULLA WIN 10-8!

BRAYDON TRINDALL!

From 45 metres out he has hit an absolute screamer! It goes over, a two-point field goal!

Sharks 10-8 with seconds remaining but the Warriors get the short kick off back!

The Warriors run it on the last from around the 40, Martin and Harris-Tavita engineer a break down the left and Katoa knocks down the pass, fresh set Warriors.

Martin goes for it but Kennedy was on him before he even kicked it and the Sharks shut it down!

Harris-Tavita makes a big tackle on Berrell, the ball flies backwards and the ref rules a fresh set for the Sharks. A fortunate call, I thought CHT was just making the tackle.

Ford charges down the field goal from the ensuing set off Trindall but the Sharks clean it up.

Talakai beats a defender and tries to offload to Puru but he knocks it on and it goes over the dead-ball line! Warriors ball and a seven tackle set.

Trindalls kick slams into Laban and the Sharks recover - they get six again and it’s a great result for them, they were flat out getting it past the 30.

Ieremia-Toeva smacks Rudolf and forces the ball free but he got him high. Sharks will have a fresh set that starts inside the Warriors red zone.

They spend the whole set getting ready for the field goal but then Berrell goes blind on the last, Puru kicks it and the Warriors get the ball.

Puru gets on report for a hip drop on Tuaupiki and they’re on the attack looking to take the lead.

There’s a scramble on the last, it gets out to Nicoll-Klokstad and he fangs it back in field, the Warriors come up with it but Leiataua’s pass to Watene-Zelezniak is a shocker and he knocks it on.

Berrell gets Martin as he’s kicking and it’s a close call but the Warriors will get the penalty. They’re on the attack now, a try here could break things open.

But they’ll take the two instead. Pompey from out wide….and he nails it!

We’re all square at 8-all.

Leiataua and Watene-Zelezniak link through the middle of the field but their pass wide goes down.

A penalty to the Sharks puts them on the attack. Berrell forces a drop out with a grubber that’s claimed by Tuaupiki.

But Harris-Tavita makes the play, he races up on Trindall and forces the error strong. Nice stuff from the five-eight.

A Warriors drop out doesn’t go ten and they get penalised but they challenge and they’ll get it.

But the Sharks retain possession. They get a set restart but Martin forces an error from Trindall and the Warriors survive.

Watene-Zelezniak throws an ill-advised offload on a kick return, the Warriors lose it, Puru dives on the ball and next play it’s easy work to spread it out to Ramien who scores!

Thats the story of this game so far, Warriors errors killing them.

Trindall from touch….you bet! Sharks lead 8-0.

A forward pass from Egan and a scrum penalty gives the Sharks possession and field position. Referee Sutton is not taking any rubbish tonight, that’s for sure.

But one tackle later Colquhon puts it down. Lots of errors in Auckland.

The Puru brothers combine through the middle and then Trindall forces another drop out with a nice bomb.

But the Warriors don’t get it away in time! What a bloody shambles that is.

Sharks take the two and open the scoring. They’re up 2-0.

A forward pass from Puru inside his own 30 puts the Warriors on the attack.

Mulitalo knocks down a pass to give them a fresh set.

The Watriors try for a tricky blindside play but Pompey’s tip on goes to ground and the Sharks dive on it.
