'Spectacular athletics': Warriors flyer's ridiculous try and Sharks kick away — NRL LIVE.

The Sharks welcome Jesse Ramien back into their side in a huge boost, forming a scary partnership with Sione Katoa on the right side of the field. “The Sharks are shellshocked, the bounce-back factor of Stacey Jones.” “The Warriors are off and running,” Andrew Voss said. “The Stacey Jones era is here,” Voss said. “The Redcliffe Leagues club has erupted,” Andrew Voss said. Warriors winger Dallin Watene-Zelezniak kicked off the second half scoring, soaring high to ground the ball over winger Ronaldo Mulitalo, before he scored a try of his own in bizarre fashion.

Wingin' it: Mulitalo, Katoa cash in as Sharks sink Warriors (NRL.COM)

Wingers Ronaldo Mulitalo and Sione Katoa bagged five tries between them as the Sharks downed the Warriors 38-16 at Moreton Daily Stadium on Sunday.

we've all had some inconsistent periods across the team but when we put it together and we compete hard, we were physically there tonight but but mentally we wobbled in and out of the game but I'm also understanding of the fact that game was so stop-start it was really hard to get into any rhythm, largely due to our discipline." the Warriors winger scored an absolute cracker in the 53rd minute when he flew through the air to plant the bal down in the corner. Watene-Zelezniak took off five metres from the goal line and did brilliantly to control the ball as he came back to earth to touch down for the 60th try of his career. After a slow start in Redcliffe the Sharks attack clicked into gear and wingers Mulitalo and Sione Katoa continued their tussle for top tryscorer honours. His first try in the 24th minute was laid on beautifully by five-eighth Matt Moylan, who is racking up plenty of try assists and line break assists in an impressive season alongside Nicho Hynes in the halves. The Eels and Titans piled on 48 points in the opening 40 minutes in round one at CommBank Stadium.

'It's embarrassing': Warriors slump to sixth straight defeat (New Zealand Herald)

"We start good then we go to crap," Josh Curran told Sky Sport after the game. "We just need to put an 80-minute performance together. "Everyone needs to ...

Fullback Reece Walsh had a forgettable night after running in the first try of the match and throughout the contest, their inability to slow down the Sharks play-the-ball and a few bad errors saw the Warriors take themselves out of the contest. After not getting the ball for what would have been a sure try moments earlier, Watene-Zelezniak took to the heavens to score a try out wide with a spectacular diving finish. So, things were looking up – until the Sharks got going again. A passive first-half defence was exemplified by Shaun Johnson allowing Sharks winger Ronaldo Mulitalo to run the ball closer to the posts on the first of his two tries rather than make him put the ball down out wide. "We just need to put an 80-minute performance together. Like reruns of Friends, their season has gotten to a point where you know what's coming when you tune in.

Big Warrior rushed to hospital with sickening injury (Wide World of Sports)

Ben Murdoch-Masila was taken to hospital as the Warriors slumped to defeat in Redcliffe against the Sharks,...

The injury occurred midway through the first half as he tried to make a tackle on Sharks fullback Will Kennedy and got his arm pinned in an awkward position. It's been a tough season for Murdoch-Masila on the injury front, having previously missed several weeks as a result of a hip-drop tackle by Brisbane's Thomas Flegler in April. The incident basically marked a complete 180 in the Warriors fortunes, as they raced out to a 12-0 lead before going on to lose 38-16.

"We just fell back into some habits they've got to get out of. “We have to lift some effort areas, being resilient and having some steel, but it was the same result," he lamented. "He's the first one to put his hand up but he's not The Lone Ranger." Jones, the stand-in coach said he was "very nervous and a little bit scattered upstairs" when he first took the reins. "He hasn't been anywhere near the Johnson we grew to love at the Warriors a long time ago, and that's part of the reset."

Warriors contain Jayson Tatum to historically low NBA Finals shooting (NBC Sports Bay Area)

Jayson Tatum is shooting 34.1% this Finals. That's the lowest by any player with 20+ attempts per game in a Finals series ever.

Execution, poise matter more than adjustments for Celtics, Warriors ... (NBC Sports)

After a very even four NBA Finals games between the Celtics and Warriors, Game 5 will be less about adjustments and more about execution.

You’re not going back to change your personnel. You’re not going back to change your playbook. “Things like that, just like the mental blips. It has been an even series despite the four not close endings — the Warriors are +1 point through four games. You’re not going back to reinvent the wheel. “I feel like they’re just disciplined.

The Warriors are -160 on the moneyline, per Draft Kings. The likes of Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Kevon Looney have each spent time guarding Tatum as well. If these Dubs take down the Eastern Conference champs in Game 5, it will go a long way towards finishing this season off with a title.
