NRL live: Warriors v Sharks (New Zealand Herald)

Again the metres are all too easy for the Sharks as they march down into the 20, but Nikora and then Ramien are well contained on the right edge. On the last ...

They struggled to put any pressure on the undermanned Sharks and were mostly defending, with back rower Teig Wilton's try coming after six successive goal-line sets, while fifth-tackle options were poor. An audacious flick pass found Daejarn Asi, before Viliami Vailea finished off a perceptive grubber by the five-eighth. It was – but for the wrong team. In front of a vocal crowd, the Sharks struck first with Hynes finishing off a 70-metre move after an incursion on the right edge, with the Warriors getting their defensive numbers wrong. In contrast, the Warriors were a muddle; falling short in effort and execution and being let down by a number of poor decisions and a lack of patience. The home side were inspired, digging deep in a magnificent display, even proving resolute when they were down to 11 men for a 10-minute period in the second half, and becoming the first team to win with 12 men against 13 since 2008.

11-man Sharks have last laugh as Warriors sink to new low (1 News)

But rather than take control the match from then on, the Warriors instead began to lose their composure. Ramien, who the commentary team believed may have been sent off rather than sinbinned for his shoulder to Aitken’s face had the Sharks not already been down to 12 men, then added insult to injury by dotting down with four minutes remaining. Once William Kennedy was sent off in the 17th minute for a horror high tackle on fullback Reece Hodge, the Warriors were in the box seat, a sense that would have grown in the second half when Jesse Ramien was sent to the bin and put on report for a full-blooded shoulder to the face of Euan Aitken.

Sharks' historic win comes at cost; Warriors' season teetering after 'white flag' moment - 3 Big Hits.

That will be tough to watch in the video review, Nathan Brown will ask ‘boys are we even serious about competing in this competition’. They have been absolutely outstanding in this second half,” Alexander said. The Kiwi side barely fired a shot despite holding a man advantage for most of the match, and a two-man advantage for 10 minutes in the second half. “The Sharks with 12 men, at one stage 11 men, this is one of the more famous victories in this proud club’s history,” Andrew Voss said on Fox League. “Fitzy just said we need to put another 40-minute effort in and that it would’ve been one of the best days for the club if we got the win, and we did.” Will Kennedy was sent off for a coat hanger tackle in the 17th minute and Jesse Ramien was binned in the 54th minute, also for a high shot.

At PointsBet Stadium, Sydney: Sharks 29 (Nicho Hynes 7 min, Teig Wilton 29 min, Connor Tracey 46 min, 66 min, Jesse Ramien 76 min tries; Hynes 4 goals, ...

Sharks fullback Will Kennedy was sent off in the 16th minute for a dreadful tackle around the neck of Reece Walsh after being sidestepped. Like elite athletes at their peak, our sports journalists are highly trained in the art of news. So we're asking you to support us with more than your attention. Addin Fonua-Blake was just as good against Toby Rudolf. For the remainder of the half it was like the Sharks were playing with an extra man, rather than the Warriors, and they were unfortunate to go into the sheds only up 12-10. In what will go down as one of the most frustrating defeats in the Warriors’ history, they failed to capitalise on the numerical advantage they had for most of the game after Will Kennedy was sent off in the 16th minute.

Record-breaking Sharks defy odds to beat Warriors with 12 men (NRL.COM)

Cronulla have broken a 14-year record by overcoming the loss of a sent-off Will Kennedy and sin-binned Jesse Ramien to beat the Warriors 29-10 at PointsBet ...

Cronulla will seven days to get ready for a clash against Canberra on Sunday afternoon. Fitzy just said we need to put another 40-minute effort in and that it would've been one of the best days for the club if we got the win, and we did." "Our right edge had a tough day and weren't at the level we need them to be. Our attack needed to be better." "That was probably one of the best games I've been a part of at a club. I didn't think it would've been one-way traffic [after the send off]. I would've thought if we had a shot down there [against 11] we'd come up with points.

Woeful Warriors crash to defeat against 12-man Sharks (New Zealand Herald)

Cronulla fullback Will Kennedy was dismissed in the 16th minute, after a terrible high tackle on Reece Walsh, and that should have been a game-changing moment.

Sharks fullback Will Kennedy sent off following coat-hanger tackle ... (Sporting News AU)

Cronulla Sharks fullback Will Kennedy has been sent off against the Warriors, after an old-fashioned coat-hanger tackle on Reece Walsh.

Later in the game, Jesse Ramien was sin-binned for a huge hit on Euan Aitken that left the Warriors second-rower dazed and forced off the field for a HIA. It left Cronulla with a 13-on-11 situation for 10 minutes when the game was on the line. Walsh walked away from the tackle without concern and set up the Warriors second try to give them a 10-6 lead in the opening half.
