It's a six-point game at Shark Park with the hosts being pushed all the way by the resurgent Kiwi outfit.

Canterbury meets North Queensland in Homebush, as the Warriors celebrate a remarkable 32-30 victory over Cronulla in a match that came down to the wire.

Will Kennedy breezed in for Cronulla and any hope of a Warriors comeback looked to have been extinguished when Niukore was sin-binned for a hip-drop tackle on Siosifa Talakai on the stroke of half-time. A torrential downpour ensued and the match took a further turn when Finucane was sin-binned for his tackle on Nicoll-Klokstad. The Warriors trailed for the near entirety of the match until they were awarded a penalty for a push on Josh Curran as he attempted to catch a loose ball he had hacked ahead. His role in the middle was a far-cry from the five-eighth spot for which he is best remembered by Bulldogs fans, but he brought much-needed energy when the chips were down and finished with 19 tackles. But it was not until Addo-Carr sailed over on the left in the final 45 seconds that the Bulldogs were able to level the scores, having remained on the attack for the final 10 minutes. The Cowboys maintained a slim lead for most of the match and enjoyed the better of first-half chances.

The Warriors have produced one of the club's biggest comeback wins, mowing down the Sharks 32-30 with a last-minute penalty goal at PointsBet Stadium on ...

The Warriors may as well remain in Australia and head north to Newcastle with a match schedule against the Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium on Easter Monday. “You sort of know when you’re going like that [in the first half] that it’s not going to stay that way. Cronulla will have a week off with their bye scheduled for Round 6. "It’s one of the best wins I’ve ever been a part of, for different reasons, and that is they just never gave up. - The Sharks led 20-0 after 21 minutes with tries to Teig Wilton, Sione Katoa and Ronaldo Mulitalo. The boys’ attitude and never giving up is just something different, it’s crazy how good it is."

Shaun Johnson has come back to haunt Cronulla, kicking a penalty goal with 90 seconds left to seal a gutsy, heart-in-mouth 32-30 NRL win for the Warriors.

With less than 90 seconds left the Sharks chanced their arm and when the ball went to ground, Curran hacked it ahead. The Kiwi outfit trailed for the near entirety of tonight's game at a rain-soaked PointsBet Stadium until they were awarded a penalty for a push on Josh Curran as he attempted to catch a loose ball he had hacked ahead. A dropped ball from Warriors fullback Chanrze Nicoll-Klokstad led to Mulitalo adding his second of the afternoon but with Hynes unable to convert the Sharks had a buffer of just six points with 20 minutes remaining.

Incredible, miraculous, phenomenal, astounding. Call it what you want, the Warriors pulled off a comeback for the ages to beat the Sharks 32-30 on Sunday.

The way they came back from what would have probably been a 70-point thrashing in previous years says everything about what's happing at the club. In the final minute referee Ben Cummins awarded the Warriors a penalty 35m out after Curran was held back from getting to the ball and Johnson nailed the kick. It couldn't have been any worse.
