Among a plethora of attacking highlights in Cronulla's eight-try romp against the Titans, it was the very first defensive play from Jack Williams that set the tone for the performance.
Williams, who started at lock in a reshuffled Sharks side, produced the VB Hard Earned Moment of the Match when he led a kick chase and lined up Alofiana Khan-Pereira with a vicious shot that sent the Gold Coast winger crashing to the deck.
It was a statement of intent in enemy territory, laying the foundation for Cronulla to defy multiple injuries en route to a crushing 44-0 victory at Cbus Super Stadium.
Williams went on to produce one of his finest NRL displays, notching up a game-high 218 metres and 23 hit-ups as well as five tackle breaks and 32 tackles.
Topping it off, the hard-working forward nabbed his first try of the season.
