I actually thought it was the opposite. The Talakai try happened before Cronulla received all that possession and you could make a list of all the feeble efforts in defence from the Broncos. However Cronulla attacking on the red-zone never looked confident and the Broncos to their credit came up with some great efforts to deny them.I dont think its a fair criticism in the first half. We got pinned back with that run where we had all those 6 agains against us and we defended superbly. We just never really recovered from that and second half we got dominated.
After being denied all those tackles and giving away the penalty you could see the wind go out of their sails. Then Madden sets up that flukey try and Brisbane weren't far off from extending that lead going into the break.
In the end half-time was the worst thing that happened because the Sharks had so much more improvement in them, meanwhile Brisbane were a spent force.
