NRL Highlights: Bulldogs v Sharks - Round 17

Heinz and Burton both involved in Origin, one not required on Wednesday night in Melbourne, Head to head tonight. Look at that determination refreshed and ready to go. Oregon Corfusi bringing the ball back for the Sharks. They do on the last this time. Slow service from Marnie Kick out improvises and it's still alive for Philly. Arby kick out Cronulla mucked it up big time and kick out there to pounce the opening 3 minutes belonging to the doggies. Harvey Norman replay Billy Army kick out gets it kicks him behind Toby Rudolph. Oh they're going to each other is it broken? Trindle and look at the look they give each other after he scores kicks through and look at each other really had a cuddle watch them look at each other after a friend took some stopping there did Burton. We can make it 10 out of 10 incompletions. Marty reaches out and puts it down with all thority. There were two plays before as a brave pass to a flying mad burden. The defense didn't come off the line. There's kick out of the blonde, the mop dummies slams it down. What a beautiful decoy. Viliami kick out six foot four. He just scored a trial for beautiful King. Nicola comes out of the line, Heinz comes out of the line and they get their first points here. Cronulla McInnes saw a lovely angle. Nicola what a try scorer he is, kept his feet throughout, puts it under the black dot. There's some afters as well, but Cronulla have their first points. Well, it didn't take him long to slip into gear. We're just looking at the the Westpac red zone. 18 tackles compared to 0 for the Sharks. Look at the plays in motion here. Plays everywhere. Hines getting all the attention out of the back and on the Harvey Norman replay he runs such a great line. Ekra for a little back row, have a look at him. Squeeze through space consistently. Great league speed. It's a good time to bring him on now. 10 minutes to go. 4020 Oh yes, it wasn't going to be a 4020, I don't think. But Caraz, look at that. Felt like he was forced to play at it. I don't think it was going to be a 4020, but for Caraz's involvement, Hans trying to crash over the top of them. Royce Hans look at the desperation from the dogs kick hours intervention was required. I think no try an amazing that Royce Hunt held up mate. He scored with his first touch last week. Royce Hunt to help launch the comeback or based on the front angle and then this side on angle. The ball always remains up. He'll be tackle 3. We have a decision. Heinz has been so close to finding the right pass for the Sharks play me and touched it. And what a touch it was for Katzoa. Oh, he got dragged over the try line. And Cronulla have their second hashtag, give the ball to Jesse, hashtag try assist Harvey Norman replay. They don't play short. They play at the back two on one catch and pass. And then Katoa, that's a game. He gets thrown in the grandstand, gets it down. Now go to Trindle. Molotalo has time to get there and jump and wrapping up the footy. Oh, Trindle in the corner, is that a try? Referee likes it. I think a Cronulla lead for the first time in the ball game. Well, just like King was just trying to get the ball, get some control into his body and Harvey Norman replay copy and paste. This time Molotalo gets it. Jacob Karaz to holds back. He's kicked it a little grubber. I don't know why Karez didn't attack this Well, he's the last three. He's gone up and earned it. And it's been exactly the same kick back. Does he get the ball down on his foot? For sure, Yeah, he does. Brilliant. And then Trindle. Yeah, he stays in and that's a try. And you see the ball bubbling around his hand. Try, confirm, try, confirm. Short sign for Heinz Ramy and Will Chase. And Jesse comes down with it. Nicora trying to improvise. And this time they wrap up the footing. Hashtag. What's the hashtag? Give it to Jesse. Give it to Jesse. Come off. Come off. I remember before the game, you the dogs would think you might get a try out of Croydon. Over the top arrow. It's Steven. Actually feeling the effects of Wednesday hasn't been that involved. They're appealing for a crusher here. Got him surrendering in Blake Wilson gout. Yeah, I think you're right, Freddy. I've just hang on. I've just missed that. Well, it's a crusher, but it's a it's a crush tackle. But I don't know what he's supposed to do. But we saw one in the we saw one in the in the in the first half. I think it was on Trindle. Trindle got up and just played the ball and he the play gets put on report for it a minute or two later. So he's laid down here and no doubt he'll get a penalty. This is what annoys you. What Kevin Strift talks about Milton and Mcinnis, two of the best defenders for Cronulla. He would again centre field, improvising, tackled without the footy there and there's the tip up from the touchy I think and it's a two point ball game. You've got a gift shot at 2 here. The thought of going to golden points got Joey's fingers up. It's the right call. Toby Rudolph dragging down back Haywood, I think he's been and Burton levels things. It's set up for Nico Trindle takes the shots. Oh, it's a penalty against the blocker. Hang on. So so there's a blocker that takes out one of the chasers. Now Matt Burton will stand up. This is on their around their 30 score. Fusi with his boot, he can get he can get this ball probably down to the opposition's maybe 30, definitely 40. Oh, what about King drop punch style and he's he's stuffed. He's got it down to the 40 and there's no time for a tackle to be made. You've got to go now. They fire it to Burton gets the shot away. Oh how sweets for B, he's got it. No, no, Brown was exciting. Burton thought he nailed it as well. But we are bound for golden points. Oh GAIL went up and everything. GAIL was up off his seat cheering. God. All right, time to run. So Cronulla start with the footy in their hands off the back fence, The milestone man Sifitalikai. The defence only back 3 meters though, is that a factor here? Hines field goal #7 is missed. Missed it. No way he's missed from point like range. He hooked it. Oh he had his moment. Can Burton get it this time From a standing start? Just chips it towards goal off the upright and over. Mcburton for the Doggies in golden points win #8 on the season. Is 2024 the year when they play finals again?
