The Raiders led the Sharks 18-0 before conceding five straight tries to lose the match in what marked an inexplicable capitulation from Ricky Stuart's men.

Cronulla's 34-22 victory at Shark Park was sparked when the Bunker controversially ruled a 26th minute captain's challenge in their favour.

The ruling got them back in the contest and it was one-way traffic from that point onwards as Braydon Trindall sliced his way through to score just a few plays later.

The Flegg Sharks copped a brutal beating from the Raiders, as a below-strength squad struggled to keep up with the ladder leaders in a 30-4 defeat at PointsBet Stadium.

In what was the prelude to the NRL showdown between the same sides, Cronulla's young guns - missing key players like Michael Gabrael - found themselves on the back foot early on, conceding three tries in the first 20 minutes and never quite finding their footing.

The Raiders came out guns blazing, using their speedy outside backs to carve through the Sharks defense with precision.

On the other hand, Cronulla's own mistakes and missteps only added fuel to the fire, making it an uphill battle from the get-go.
