The Cronulla Sharks' dream run in the NRL has hit a rocky patch, with their season now on life support after a nightmare upset against the Gold Coast Titans.
After being the early front-runners and sitting pretty at the top of the ladder for 11 rounds, the Sharks have been torn to shreds and come crashing back down to earth.
The Titans, on the other hand, have been on a winning streak, with their victory over the Sharks marking their second straight win after a dominant performance against the Warriors.
This turnaround has seen them climb up the ladder and sit just two wins outside the top eight, with six games left to play over the weekend.
While the Titans' resurgence is a great underdog story, the Sharks' downfall has left fans scratching their heads.
Just a few weeks ago, they were flying high with a 9-1 record before a thumping loss to the Panthers kickstarted their slide down the ladder.
It's safe to say that their season is now in jeopardy, with their hopes hanging by a thread.
In the unpredictable world of Rugby League, anything can happen, and the Sharks will need to regroup and bounce back if they want to salvage their season.
As they say, it's not over until the final whistle blows, and there's always a chance for redemption in this tough and unforgiving sport.
It's time for the Sharks to dig deep, show some fighting spirit, and prove that they have what it takes to overcome this setback and rise like a phoenix from the ashes.
