Sharks capitalise on Eels sloppy play

An incredibly sloppy and frantic Eels cost the game as the Sharks took advantage of their errors.

The long‑awaited NRL return of James Segeyaro ended up being a quiet 20‑minute cameo at the end of a dominant 20‑6 win for his new club.

Cronulla's furious defensive line‑speed and aggressive tackling seemed to throw the Eels off their game as they picked up where they left off in a dire loss on the Gold Coast last week.

The return of star half Corey Norman did little to spark the Eels in what was an emotional night for both clubs.

In other matches played, Manly Sea Eagles thrashed the Bulldogs 36-0 while the Cowboys beat the Titans 32-26.

Meanwhile, in today’s matches, Tigers will play the Storm at 5pm today while Dragons take on the Warriors at 7.30pm.
