Sharks win 14-6

All over.

Cronulla have sealed their second win of the season to go to a 2-2 record, Storm have lost their first match and are now 3-1.

It wasn't pretty but the Sharks see beauty in an ugly win like no other team in the NRL.

Siosia Feki defuses a towering bomb and Sharks fans break into a chant of "Oh Feki you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind, Hey Feki"

Jesse Bromwich loses possession and another Melbourne attacking raid comes unstuck. Looks like the NRL's only unbeaten team will be beaten tonight.

That means a five-way tie at the top of the ladder - Dogs, Broncs, Storm, Titans (yes Titans) and Eels

Storm have been below their best tonight. Still not out of it with 9 to go though

Flare-ups tonight: 6

Push-and-shove: 6

Punches thrown: 0

Stop trying to look tough fellas. Everyone on the field knows nobody's going to throw a punch these days so now it's a contest to see who can look the meanest without doing anything

It's a rough & tough old game these lads play

Trouble

Another flare-up. No punches thrown. Koroibete in trouble for tripping Townsend. That was pretty ordinary.

He's put on report. Sharks get penalty right in front.

Like a bank after Bonnie & Clyde have visited ... Held up

Video review

Ref says no try as Tonamapeia gets across the line but looks like he's held up

Not again. Valentine Holmes drops the ball in a Koroibete tackle as he tries to score in the corner.

Marika Koroibete, no relation to former Sharks prop Chris Beattie, streaks away but is called back after an offside from the kick ricochet

That young Tonamapeia fella saves the day after a dangerous Sharks grubber
