  Sharks beat Cowboys Week #1 Finals 2026

  Sep 12, 202659 minS2026

  THE SHARKS ARE THROUGH TO WEEK TWO. Cronulla beat the North Queensland Cowboys 26-16 at Allianz Stadium to keep their 2026 premiership campaign alive — and Boldo and Franko are back straight after the game to break it all down. On this episode: SIOSIFA TALAKAI’S enormous impact off the bench and why he dominated the 3-2-1 voting. BRAYDON TRINDALL’S return, the extra cohesion he brought to the Sharks attack and the toughness he showed playing through shoulder trouble. NICO HYNES stepping up when it mattered and scoring the try that effectively iced the game. SIONE KATOA crossing twice in another strong finals performance. WILL KENNEDY’S contribution at the back. Cronulla dominating possession early and controlling large parts of the contest. The controversial offside decision and another discussion about NRL officiating. Whether Trindall’s shoulder becomes a target for Cronulla’s Week Two opponent. Plenty of listener 3-2-1 votes as the ET Stand Player of the Year race continues. And what the Sharks now need to improve as they head into WEEK TWO OF THE FINALS. It wasn’t perfect — but in September, winning is all that matters.

  NRL SHAFTS THE SHARKS | COWBOYS FINALS PREVIEW + RANKING OUR TOP 10 WEEK 1 FINALS WINS

  Sep 8, 20261h 39mS2026

  The Sharks have earned a home final — but once again, they won’t actually get to play it at home. On this episode of The ET Stand Podcast , Boldo and the crew go big on the decision to move Cronulla’s Week 1 final away from Ocean Protect Stadium, why it feels so unfair on the club, the fans and the local community, and why the NRL’s handling of the situation has left Sharks supporters furious. Then attention turns to the football as we break down the fallout from the Storm loss and look ahead to Cronulla’s massive finals clash with the North Queensland Cowboys . We revisit the Cowboys’ 46–34 win over the Sharks earlier this season, the defensive issues that hurt Cronulla that night, and what needs to change with the season now on the line. Plus, we take a trip through Sharks history and rank Cronulla’s Top 10 Week 1 finals victories , counting down from some famous September wins all the way to the greatest Week 1 finals victory in club history. Finals footy is here. UP UP CRONULLA! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

  Storm vs Sharks rd #27 2026

  Sep 5, 20261h 23mS2026

  It’s a late-night ET Stand debrief , and after this one there was plenty to unpack. Cronulla went down 24-20 to Melbourne at Ocean Protect Stadium, but with a heavily changed Sharks side, two men in the sin bin at one stage and a stack of controversy around the officiating, Boldo and Franko were far from disappointed with the performance. ON THE SHOW • The refereeing and bunker decisions that had the ET Stand absolutely filthy • The missed forward pass and the confusion around grounding the ball on the line • Michael Gabrael’s sin bin and the debate over what actually constitutes a shoulder charge • Ronaldo Mulitalo’s brain explosion after running in to protect Riley Pollard • How the Sharks fought back from 12-0 down despite being two players short • Sifa Talakai changing the game after coming off the bench • Why his impact has to raise the question of whether he needs more minutes • An impressive NRL debut from Riley Pollard • Strong performances from the Puru brothers and plenty to like from the Sharks’ young players • The errors that nearly proved costly, including a very unfortunately timed Toby Rudolf drop after Boldo declared Cronulla were going to win • Fitzgibbon’s frustration with the consistency of the officiating • What this performance actually means with the Sharks finishing fifth and finals football beginning next week • Plus Jimmy, 2.0, Rob and plenty of late-night listener comments joining the conversation Despite the loss, there was a lot to like from a Cronulla side missing several regulars. Was this actually the ideal finals tune-up? And most importantly… can we please work out what the rules are before next week?
