Cronulla prove too strong for the Raiders in the second half as they wrap up their pre-season campaign and head to Vegas soon.

We'll see you back here over the weekend for more trial action.

Hynes provides injury update

Liam O'Loughlin

Nicho Hynes says there is no cause for concern despite being iced up after the win.

"Yeah it's just a bit of a tight adductor, but I think it was the plan to play that long anyway so I'm glad I got through that," he told Fox League post-game.

It was a solid performance from the Sharks playmaker, who will now head to Vegas.

Full time at GIO Stadium and it was one-way traffic for the Sharks after an early blip.

The visitors pile on 40 unanswered points in a warning sign ahead of Las Vegas.

Final nail in the coffin

Vea'ila gets his try!

Young playmaker Pollard beats a defender and draws another in with a lovely short pass to his Sharks teammate, who goes over untouched.

Pollard has previously played with Lachlan Galvin in the under-age competitions.

Chris Vea'ila almost finds his way onto the score sheet, but some scramble defence from the Raiders stops him at the last minute as he drops it over the line.

The errors continue for Canberra and this one can't end soon enough.

Coach's son gets belted

Jed Stuart - the son of head coach Ricky - is busted open after a heavy collision.

"That's a nasty head clash," Steve Roach said on Fox League.

"He'll be OK, made of tough stuff."

The youngster gets taped up and looks set to play on.

'Monster' prop crashes over

The errors are really creeping in for the Raiders.

"Canberra are their own worst enemy ... they have come undone here," Andrew Voss said on Fox League.

Cronulla make use of it as Hau Tapuha crashes over from close range.

"They are just too big and physical at the moment," Steve Roach said.

"Hau Tapuha gets the try and look at the size of him - he is a monster."

Captain's challenge drama

A captain's challenge from the Sharks.

Iro looks to reel in a pass and split the gap, but Taumoepeau sticks a hand out.

The ball rolls along the ground and Burns plants it down, but the Bunker deem there was insufficient evidence to overturn Iro's knock-on.

"I disagree 100 per cent," Andrew Voss said on Fox League.

Hynes placed on ice

Some brief concern for Hynes as he leaves the field, but nothing to worry about.

"They just whacked some ice on him as a precaution, but no issues for Nicho," Jake Duke said on Fox League.

A solid first hit-out for the Sharks halfback.

Sharks running roughshod

Make that three in a row!

Ramien cleans up the ball as the Raiders put it down near their own line again.

Just like that, the Sharks lead 30-10 after being down 10-0 early in the first half.
