Sunday session: Raiders v Sharks; Titans v Dragons

49th min: Seemingly against the run of play, the Sharks go in through Samuel Stonestreet to extend their lead again. The Raiders could not handle a high kick, knocking it on and the Sharks were there to pick up the scraps. Hynes can't get it over from the left sideline and it's 22-16 to Cronulla. 

46th min: After mounting some pressure, the Raiders are rewarded with the first a try of the second half. The team go out on their left edge with Savelio Tamale catching the ball out on the sideline and diving over. Sanders conversion attempt comes off the far post, keeping the scores at 18-16. 

Half-time: Time for the players to have a break after an entertaining and busy first half. The Sharks have looked the better team and it shows on the scoreboard 18-12, but the Raiders will be happy to be within a converted try after a rough start that included having a player sent to the sin bin.

37th min: Sione Katoa is over with a dive at the line - but the Bunker has intervened and overruled the try ruling with the winger just getting his foot on the line before pushing off to dive. Score remains 18-12. 

26th min: An error from Trindall hands the ball back to the Raiders and they capitalise. Firstly going out the their right before coming back out to their left, they find success with a nice flick pass from Sebastian Kris along the way. Hudson Young is the one to run in to score, with Sanders converting. Sharks in front 18-12. 

22nd min: More points for the Sharks, with Billy Burns running in, this time on the right side. Some good passing in the lead up, with the halves Trindall and Hynes combining, with the halfback dishing the last pass. Hynes converts the try and the Sharks are out to an 18-6 lead. 

17th min: The Raiders are on the board after showcasing their speed down their right edge. Simi Sasagi gets a ball out to Xavier Savage who makes a break, with Kaeo Weekes supporting on his inside, taking the pass and running in to score. Ethan Sanders kicks the conversion and it's 12-6 to the Sharks. 

9th min: After claiming a short drop out, there is another try down the left side for the Sharks, with KL Iro running a similar angle. Hynes once again strikes the ball through the sticks and it's 12-0 to Cronulla. 

6th min: The Sharks don't take long to capitalise on their extra player advantage, spreading the ball to the left, with Teig Wilton running back inside on a short ball from Braydon Trindall to score. Nicho Hynes lines up the conversion successfully and it's a 6-0 lead to the Sharks. 

4th min: Drama early with Raiders forward Corey Horsburgh sent to the sin bin for a professional foul.

Kick-off: Sharks launch the ball and Canberra have the first opportunity with the ball in front of their home crowd. 

Family Feud - bit of fun today with the Brailey brothers (Blayke and Jayden) going head-to-head.

Late Mail

Raiders: No late changes on game day. Morgan Smithies is set to start at prop after Josh Papalii accepted a one-game ban for a high tackle. Young gun Joe Roddy is the new face on the bench and is pushing for his second NRL appearance. Matt Timoko and Chevy Stewart were omitted in the 24-hour update. 

Sharks: A late swap, with Toby Rudolf promoted to start, with Tom Hazelton moving to the bench. On the interchange, Tuku Hau Tapuna has been omitted, moving Chris Vea'ila from the reserves into the interchange. Earlier, Briton Nikora will miss Sunday's crucial clash due to a broken nose, opening the door for Teig Wilton to return to the starting side. The back-rower made a successful comeback from shoulder surgery via the interchange last week. Braden Uele comes on to the bench as a result. Jayden Berrell and Mawene Hiroti were omitted in the 24-hour update.

Titans v Dragons at Cbus Super Stadium

Late Mail

Titans: More changes to the line up on game day. AJ Brimson will start at centre, with Lachlan Ilias moving in to pair with Jayden Campbell in the halves. Max Feagai moves to the interchange, as does Moeaki Fotuaika, with Klese Haas to start. Jett Liu remains on the interchange bench. Earlier, Tukimihia Simpkins and Josh Patston dropped out and Jaylan De Groot and debutant Oliver Pascoe moved up from the reserves. Earlier, Jayden Campbell was named to wear the No.7 jersey and lead the Titans around the park after being a late inclusion in the starting side last week. The halfback showed no signs of a hamstring injury that kept him off the field in the opening two rounds and is looking to steer Gold Coast to victory. Josh Hannay has the luxury of stability as the Titans chase their first win of the year. 

Dragons: More changes for the Dragons as well on game day. Tyrell Sloan will start on the win, with Setu Tu omitted. Other changes see Hame Sele move to start at lock, with Hamish Stewart onto the interchange. Lyhkan King-Togia remains on the interchange. Earlier, Hayden Buchanan came into the centres with Moses Suli (personal reasons) out of the game. Tyrell Sloan moves up into the six-player interchange bench, with Lyhkan King-Togia remaining in the reserves. Identical twins Ryan (suspension) and Toby (concussion protocols) Couchman will miss Sunday night's clash with the Titans, paving the way for Blake Lawrie to start at prop and Hamish Stewart at lock. Coach Shane Flanagan has opted to use Stewart off the bench in the opening weeks of the season, so we could see Hame Sele come into the starting side on game day. 

One of the changes to the named Titans line up, Oliver Pascoe will make his first NRL appearance. 

Pascoe will become the latest player to make his NRL debut after first appearing in the NRL All Stars fixture.
