One of the more infuriating Sharks performances of the season.

Boldo and Franko jump on after Cronulla’s 38-18 loss to Parramatta to work through a disastrous opening, another missed opportunity and what it means with the finals now just around the corner.

The Sharks were blown away early, fought their way back into the contest in the second half, but repeatedly failed to turn possession and field position into points.

• How did Cronulla allow the game to get away from them so quickly?
• The Sharks’ attack and a frustrating lack of variety from the halves
• Why Cronulla looked far more dangerous when they shifted the football
• Sione Katoa’s strong performance in a beaten side
• Will Kennedy, Blayke Brailey and the best performers from the loss
• The defensive problems on Cronulla’s edges
• The controversial Addin Fonua-Blake no-try
• Siosifa Talakai’s impact and whether the Sharks should have used him earlier
• Braydon Trindall’s frustration on the sideline
• Tom Hazelton and the potential changes to the forward pack
• The missed opportunity to push for the top four
• Are the Sharks simply waiting for the finals, or is their form now a genuine concern?
• Should Craig Fitzgibbon rest players against Melbourne?
• And are we heading towards yet another Sharks v Cowboys finals showdown?
