Could we see Cronulla emulating Souths' feat last year of leading the competition after 12 rounds and then missing the finals? The Rabbitohs' fall from grace was one of the most dramatic in the game's long history - but may be matched by the out-of-sorts Sharks. The Sharks were awful in Coffs Harbour on Friday night, falling to a classic Des Hasler ambush as they went down to the Titans 20-16. The final score flattered the Sharks, who were down 12-0 early and 20-4 with 15 minutes to go before jagging a couple of late tries. Craig Fitzgibbon's men have now lost three games in a row and five of their last six. They look flat and in desperate need of a shake-up. Marquee man Nicho Hynes has been quiet in recent weeks and the Sharks missed 40 tackles to a Titans side without attacking 'guns' Jayden Campbell and AJ Brimson. The Sharks need to do plenty of soul-searching this week, with their place in the finals, let alone dreams of another premiership, slowly slipping away.
