Cronulla Sharks intend rallying around each other to rise above the form slump that has handed the club their worst start to a NRLW season since joining the competition in 2023.<\/p>\n
From the team that made the 2024 grand final and the preliminary final in 2025 they face a fourth loss in a row.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It all starts with the high-flying Raiders at Canberra\u2019s GIO Stadium in Round 4.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not ideal but when your backs are against the wall, there\u2019s only one way to go,\u201d Sharks fullback Jada Taylor told NRL.com.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI watched the Raiders game (v Roosters) and they are playing well.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we don\u2019t fear anyone \u2013 we\u2019ve spoken about that.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe footy we play can win games and I have full faith in our coach Tony Herman to get us through these next weeks.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s us as a playing group that need to lift and be better \u2013 no-one else to point the finger at.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

An 18-4 loss to the Knights was followed by 22-16 to premiers the Broncos, but then 24-18 to the Bulldogs who jumped out to a 14-0 lead.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was embarrassing how we dished up that performance (11 errors) coming off the back of a good performance against the Broncos,\u201d Taylor said.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going to sugar-coast it. It was disappointing, more so because I love the brand of footy that we play.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSo I\u2019m equally embarrassed for the footy staff and coaches… there\u2019s not much more they could have done \u2013 they\u2019re not on the field.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

A length of the field special from Taylor<\/p>\n
Taylor made some incisive runs in her game-high 158 metres, two offloads, six tackle busts and a line break.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She says the solution is reaffirming the players\u2019 bond and addressing the low points of the Bulldogs game.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe just have to become tighter and get through this,\u201d Taylor said.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI already feel like we\u2019re so connected so it\u2019s hard to put my finger on what it is at the moment.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut we are going error for error, which isn\u2019t us. When we get back into our cycle we complete high.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOur priority is to eliminate those silly errors which shouldn\u2019t be happening like uncontested dropping the ball.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cBut the good thing about rugby league is that it\u2019s a team sport and we don\u2019t go through this alone. We help each other.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cronulla Sharks intend rallying around each other to rise above the form slump that has handed the club…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":813593,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[568],"tags":[64,63,761,762,158,85],"class_list":["post-813592","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nrl","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-national-rugby-league","tag-nationalrugbyleague","tag-nrl","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813592","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=813592"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/813592\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/813593"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=813592"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=813592"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=813592"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
