The Sea Eagles are looking the more enterprising team now, sending the ball wide and throwing offloads while the Sharks are keeping things simple through the middle. But now it backfires for Manly, Reuben Garrick passing to Jason Saab who is driven over the sideline by Sam Stonestreet near the halfway line.
Cronulla go on the attack, and they again play it safety-first, Niwhai Puru running it on the last and brought down five metres from the Manly tryline.
But the Sharks produce a big defensive play in the next set with Toby Rudolf driving Saab backwards, and the winger loses possession.
Can Cronulla score the match-winner here?
Sharks 26, Sea Eagles 22 with 6 minutes left
