Cronulla coach Josh Hannay has told his side to start playing like a finals team as they prepare to walk the top-eight tightrope for the next month. Sunday's clash with Newcastle shapes as a four-point game, with both teams in a seven-horse race for the final two spots in the top eight. The Sharks were considered the favourites to claim one of those spots a month ago, with one of the most favourable runs home of any team. If you're going to consider yourself one of the teams to contend for those top-eight spots, you've got to start playing like a finals football side to be realistic, Hannay said. Sunday's a really important game for us. Obviously a win is important but what I want to see from ourselves is a really good performance. I'm confident that if we play well we'll win. But ideally and first and foremost, we want to see that performance. We want to see a performance that's going to hold us in good stead over the next month of football. We need to start to play with some consistency and consistency for 80 minutes.
