The mighty Cronulla Sharks have smashed the Canberra Raiders to secure their spot in the Flegg grand final, taking them one step closer to league glory.
The Sharks delivered a masterclass performance, recording their 10th consecutive victory and proving that they are a force to be reckoned with.
Just two months ago, the Sharks were on the brink of defeat, but they have staged an incredible comeback to reach the grand final.
Securing a playoffs spot in the nick of time, Cronulla now have their sights set on their second Jersey Flegg premiership as they gear up to take on the Bulldogs at CommBank Stadium next Sunday.
Gabrael, the star of the show, showcased his skill by setting up back-rower Dylan Coutts for a clear run.
The momentum continued as Waitere charged ahead, only to face a setback on the next play.
However, Cronulla surged ahead in the 16th minute when Kristian Dixon made a spectacular play, catching a bomb and powering over the line despite the opposition's efforts.
With another successful goal by Pollard, the Sharks solidified their dominance with a commanding 12-0 lead.
The Sharks continued to shine as Gabrael once again played a pivotal role, darting into open space after a precise pass from Ford.
This time, it was Waitere who delivered, overcoming the defense to score the third try for Cronulla.
The Sharks are on fire and ready to take on the Bulldogs in what promises to be an epic showdown for the Jersey Flegg title.
