Cronulla have blown the NRL's top-four race wide open with a courageous and epic 10-8 victory over the high-flying Warriors in Auckland.
A miracle defensive play from fullback Will Kennedy allowed in-form playmaker Braydon Trindall to slot the Sharks' match-winning two-point field goal two minutes from fulltime on Saturday night.
Warriors centre Adam Pompey had the chance to send the match into golden point, but pushed a last-second penalty attempt wide to the despair of home fans at Go Media Stadium.
Seconds before Trindall's sealer, Kennedy rushed desperately out of the line to charge down a Te Maire Martin field-goal attempt to put the Warriors in front in the lowest-scoring match of the season.
Instead, Kennedy pulled off an Ashes-like slips catch to steal possession in one of the plays of the season.
