The Sharks secured their first NRLW victory by defeating the Raiders 22-10 in Canberra.
Cronulla's forwards were instrumental, with Ellie Johnston and Caitlan Johnston-Green both surpassing 100 running metres.
Defensively, the Sharks shone as Jada Taylor, Annessa Biddle, and Cassie Staples executed multiple crucial try-saving efforts.
An early penalty awarded to the Raiders was expected to create an opportunity, but Jada Taylor thwarted their advance.
The Sharks quickly ventured into Raiders' territory, with Georgia Hannaway's pass to Cassie Staples nearly resulting in a breakthrough.
Moments later, Cronulla's attack clicked into gear again, as Hannaway connected with Madison Ashby, who assisted Staples for her second try.
The Sharks initially led 4-0, though Chantay Kiria-Ratu's conversion attempt was unsuccessful.
Canberra responded, targeting Cronulla's left edge, but Annessa Biddle's tackle prevented a certain try.
Caitlan Johnston-Green's strong run earned a penalty for the Sharks, and Georgia Ravics nearly scored, despite being held up by several defenders.
