LeagueNews.co | Jess Malloy

The Cronulla Sharks faced a tough defeat at home against the Canterbury Bulldogs, marking their second loss of the 2025 NRL season.

Despite a brief moment of hope with a try from Kayal Iro, the Sharks were outplayed by the Bulldogs who have maintained a perfect record so far in the season.

Injuries further complicated the Sharks' efforts, with Siosifa Talakai and Kayal Iro forced to leave the game early.

Coach Fitzgibbon acknowledged the Bulldogs' strength, admitting that they had been "outworked" by their opponents.

The loss was a disappointing outcome for the Sharks, who now must regroup as they prepare for an upcoming stretch of away games.
