It's happened before. A big game decision goes against the Raiders resulting in a dramatic momentum shift.
When playing Cronulla in Round 27, the game was evenly poised with the Sharks leading 10-6 when Raiders back Sebastian Kris was sent off for a dangerous tackle.
That was in the 59th minute.
After the send-off, the Sharks ran in three unanswered tries in the 24-6 victory.
