After a tight first half, Cronulla flick the switch early in the second and they piled on five unanswered tries to blow out Canberra 10-40 at GIO Stadium. Leading 10-12 at halftime, the Sharks extended their lead in the 46th minute when Addin Fonua-Blake bullocked his way through the front line before he shimmied around Chevy Stewart to score a cracking try. A pair of errors from bombs proved costly for the Raiders as Braydon Trindall and Jesse Ramien piled on further tries in the following two sets to power the visitors out to a 20-point lead. As the errors continued to pile up for the Green Machine, Cronulla stayed ruthless to the end with further tries to Tuku Hau Tapuha and Chris Vea'ila in the final 12 minutes.
