One of the most incredible victories in the history of the Cronulla club - and quite possibly the NRL. After a week from hell, the Sharks came back from 24-6 down at halftime to pip last year's premiers 30-28. Leading from the front, Wade Graham was outstanding, as was pivot Jeff Robson, but young Jacob Gagan was the real hero with a couple of brilliant winger's tries. The Roosters had this game sewn up, but a high error rate and a general air of complacency saw them surrender meekly. Trent Robinson will have his work cut out this week hardening up the charges after a demoralising loss.
