Sjoe. Squeaked in the win.


Watching the Sharks bugger around for 15 minutes not being able to convert territory and poession into points was painful.


They should have taken 3 points, reset and tried again. The dragons were allowed to concede penalties, and with Brace not doing much to put a stop to it, they just kept infringing.


The sharks looked completely one dimensional on attack, although the Dragons defence was very good.
