That's game.
Cronulla Sharks 36
defeat
Brisbane Broncos 26
The game was virtually over on the shadows of half-time but the Broncos showed some nice signs late in the game.
The try for Isaako in particular was well constructed.

He plays Q cup, I believe for norths. Can't comment on his form, his stats read like a regular 2nd rower

The Sharks streamed it on their website. I provided a link as soon as I found out about it, which is when I went into more detail about the game.
Unfortunately by that point the game was already over. As soon as Savage grabbed Davies kick it was 26-8 and virtually game over. The boys had a chance to show what they were capable of but it's difficult position to be in. You're tired, down on confidence and the other team knows that all it has to do is defend.
In saying that, the footage I saw suggested that the pack isn't as organised as it should be. The team lacks power and size which makes it difficult for the Broncos to establish a run game. More often than not, they're relying on bad defensive errors or individual brilliance than well executed set plays or well constructed sets to score points. If they could add another big body and make a few personnel switches whether it will work or not.
