Wingin' it: Mulitalo, Katoa cash in as Sharks sink Warriors

Wingers Ronaldo Mulitalo and Sione Katoa bagged five tries between them as the Sharks downed the Warriors 38-16 at Moreton Daily Stadium on Sunday.

After trailing 12-0 early the Sharks steadied the ship to run in five tries in 25 minutes to lay the foundation for their eighth win of the season.

In the early going it was all the Warriors as a penalty against Mulitalo for a strip gave the home side a shot and Reece Walsh made the Sharks pay with a solo try in the seventh minute.

The try was Walsh's first of the season as he carved between Mulitalo and Siosifa Talakai to give the Warriors an early shot of confidence.

When Wayde Egan scooted over from dummy half in the 12th minute the Warriors had a double digit lead but the Sharks were quick to respond through Katoa after a Nicho Hynes bomb was tapped back by Jesse Ramien.

Adam Pompey then put the kick-off out on the full to invite the Sharks into the attacking zone again and Talakai crossed for his sixth try of the season to get it back to 12-8.

When Jack Murchie played the ball facing the sideline in the 22nd minute and was penalised the Sharks again marched down field and Mulitalo finished off slick lead-up work by Hynes and Matt Moylan to score.

Continuing the theme of Warriors mistakes leading Sharks tries it was Chanel Harris-Tavita spilling a pass in the 33rd minute and Moylan strolling over on the left side to make it 20-12 to the Sharks.

A second try to Katoa in the final minute of the half ensured the Sharks had turned a 12-point deficit into a 12-point lead and looked set to go on with the job.

The Warriors' job was made even harder with the loss of forward Ben Murdoch-Masila to a dislocated elbow but they started the second half strongly and managed to close the gap when Dallin Watene-Zelezniak scored a spectacular try in the corner to make it 24-16.

Mulitalo completed his double in the 59th minute when he accepted a pass from Moylan, put a move on Walsh and flirted with the sideline before planting the ball down.

The Sharks put the game out of reach in the 63rd minute when Walsh fumbled a Jesse Ramien grubber in the in goal and Will Kennedy was on hand to ground the ball for a 34-16 lead.

With time running out Katoa joined Mulitalo on 10 tries for the season when he picked up a loose ball 60 metres out and raced away to ice the victory.
