The Sharks have demolished the Cowboys in a 44-6 masterclass at PointsBet Stadium with Nicho Hynes claiming the inaugural Paul Green Medal.
But the win came with some concerns with Braden Hamlin-Uele and Briton Nikora leaving the field with leg injuries.
The Cowboys have some concerns of their own with skipper Chad Townsend picking up what looked to be a calf injury, while star second-rower Jeremiah Nanai was placed on report and sin-binned for a hip-drop tackle.
