The Cronulla Sharks were left fuming over the officiating on Saturday night as Shaun Johnson produced a magical finish to his NRL career to guide the Warriors to victory. Johnson had three try assists - including one in the dying seconds - as the Warriors stunned the Sharks 30-28 in the final game of the halfback's career. But the fairytale farewell was marred by controversy after the Sharks copped a contentious sin-bin in the second half that turned the whole game. Cronulla led 22-4 at the break, but the Warriors scored five second-half tries to snatch victory. Two of those tries came after Kayal Iro was sent to the bin for a high shot on Dallin Watene-Zelezniak - a call that sparked controversy. Watene-Zelezniak slipped into the tackle, and Iro appeared to be powerless to prevent making contact with his head. "They need to sort this out before September (finals), because it's got to ridiculous proportions," Phil Gould said in commentary for Channel 9. "This has been going on for a few weeks, but it's got ridiculous. Coaches, fans, players are all frustrated, and they don't know how to get themselves out of it."
