The Cronulla Sharks have come back
in the second half to comprehensively defeat the St George Illawarra Dragons
34-13 at Toyota Park tonight.
Saints who led 13-nil at half time
had no answer to the Sharks who ran over the top of the visitors scoring
34 unanswered points.
To make matters worse for the Dragons,
returning centre, Mark Gasnier only lasted three minutes before he was
forced from the field with a foot injury which looked the same as the one
that has kept him sidelined for much of the current season.
Cronulla overcame an ordinary first
half effort where they were unable to convert possession and field position
into points to run away with match after the break.
Saints defended well at times but with
little possession and poor handling, they eventually capitulated, letting
in six tries in the second half, three in the final ten minutes.
