A miracle play by Ronaldo Mulitalo has inflicted more pain on Brisbane to secure Cronulla a thrilling 36-26 NRL win at Suncorp Stadium.
The Broncos slipped to their ninth defeat from 10 matches despite a much-improved display on Friday night.
Veteran Darius Boyd revelled in his return to fullback, setting up four tries for the Broncos but his efforts were undone as the Sharks stormed home with three tries in the final 10 minutes.
The highlight play came in the 76th minute when Sharks winger Mulitalo put in a clever kick with the outside of his right foot which landed in Connor Tracey’s lap to put the visitors ahead.
Another try to Braden Hamlin-Uele in the 78th minute capped the Sharks comeback as a 26-18 deficit in the 70th minute became a 10 point lead.
It’s a sixth win in seven matches for the Sharks, who made light of the absence of Josh Dugan, Jesse Ramien, Matt Moylan, Andrew Fifita and Chad Townsend to claim their first win over the Broncos since 2017.
