The Sharks have taken a significant step towards securing a place in the finals with a dominant performance against the Titans.
Led by the impressive combination of Braydon Trindall and Blayke Brailey, who orchestrated three tries, the Sharks proved too strong for their opponents.
The loss of Kieran Foran to a rib injury at half-time further hindered the Titans' chances.
Ronaldo Mulitalo, returning from a jaw injury, scored two tries in the first half, helping the Sharks establish a commanding 20-6 lead at halftime.
The team continued their dominance in the second half, scoring three more tries to secure the victory.
In addition to the win, the Sharks significantly improved their for-and-against record, which could play a crucial role in the tight Telstra Premiership ladder.
The back five players for Cronulla were instrumental, each carrying the ball for over 130 meters.
Their relentless attack overwhelmed the Titans, resulting in nearly 500 more run meters for the Sharks.
The scoring started with a well-executed backline move finished off by Mulitalo, followed by a brilliant 75-meter effort from Connor Tracey.
Nicho Hynes successfully converted one of the tries, extending the Sharks' lead to 10-0.
