The Sharks have once again claimed the top spot on the NRL ladder after a hard-fought 20-10 victory over the Dragons, with coach Shane Flanagan dubbing his own team as "awful" in the post-match analysis.

The pre-game chaos, however, set the stage for a battle of epic proportions as Sydney was drenched in rain, leaving the stadium flooded and the players needing to "pack a snorkel" just to kick off the match.

Despite the challenging conditions, the Sharks managed to maintain their composure and come out victorious, showing true grit and determination on the field.

The heavy rain didn't dampen their spirits as they powered through the adversity, pumping water off the field and making sure the stadium was fit for play.

CEO Dino Mezzatesta's last-minute dash to Bunnings for pressure pumps and hoses only added to the drama, creating an underdog story that will surely go down in Rugby League history.

In the end, it was a true test of skill and resilience, with the Sharks emerging as the ultimate victors in this wet and wild showdown.
