Cronulla Sharks’ wingers Ronaldo Mulitalo and Sione Katoa led a dominant performance against the Wests Tigers, with Mulitalo scoring a hat-trick and Katoa adding a double in a 56-8 win at PointsBet Stadium.
The Sharks were aiming to break a three-game losing streak and were playing without injured halfback Nicho Hynes. They set the tone early with a second-minute try from Kayal Iro.

Despite an early response from the Tigers’ Solomona Faataape, the game quickly turned one-sided.
The Tigers struggled with discipline, conceding six penalties and making 11 errors, while captain Api Koroisau was sidelined with a calf injury and a stint in the sin bin. The Sharks will have a bye next week, while the Tigers face the Bunnies at Industree Group Stadium.
