Madimack 'Power Players' - Round 24

It was a comprehensive victory from the Sharks in round 24 at home, conceding only six points and scoring 36 of their own in a classy win over the Gold Coast Titans.

We take a look at the Madimack 'Power Players' from the clash.

CAM MCINNES

Week to week what more could be said about Cam McInnes?

One of the most consistent performers all season, especially over the last month, McInnes brings so much to the side on both sides of the ball.

Tough and resilient, another game high in tackles (48), McInnes also pulled out the attacking stats.

Scoring a well-deserved try of his own, back to his ball playing best and putting people through holes, he finished the game with 145 run metres, 48 of those post-contact, with a line break and line break assist to his name.

It was once again a polished performances from our man in the middle.

RONALDO MULITALO

Ronaldo Mulitalo returned after two weeks on the side lines and didn't skip a beat.

Coming into the match Ronaldo needed just one try to equal his career high of 17 from last season and having scored a try in each of his past three PointsBet Stadium games the chances were high.

Not only did he get that try, but a first-half double took him out to a career high 18 tries for the year. Racking up the metres Mulitalo made 188, with three line breaks and four tackle breaks.

Seemingly injuring his ankle in scoring his first try, Mulitalo battled on bravely to get through the game.

Just as impressive on the opposite side of the ball, peppered with bombs, Mulitalo defused five kicks to keep the Titans searching for a way through.

CONNOR TRACEY

Led by a back five who all carried the ball for over 130 metres, the Sharks got their sets off on the right foot. None more so than the man at the back in Connor Tracey.

AN elusive ball runner, Tracey started and finished a 75-metre effort for the Sharks' second try on his way to a massive 223 metres on the night.

A safe pair of hands at the back in defence, Connor is stepping into the number 1 role nicely in the absence of Will Kennedy and continues to build at the backend of the year.

JESSE RAMIEN

There's something super impressive about the way Jesse Ramien is playing at the moment, and against the Titans on Friday night was no different. 

Ramien has built into the season nicely and over the last month he's proven to be an absolute handful for the opposition each week. 

Busting eight tackles, two line breaks to his name, Ramien ran for 210 metres with 61 of those post-contact. He also provided the last pass on a 75-metre effort to notch a try assist to his name.

Strong in defence Ramien made 17 tackles on the night, keeping his opposite number quiet in another solid performance.

ROYCE HUNT

Off the back of an impressive stint back home in WA, Royce Hunt continued in a positive direction against the Titans on Friday night.

He may have only been on the pitch for 24 minutes, but he jam packed his time with plenty of impressive moments.

Aggressive with his carries, Hunt clocked in 145 metres, running for 62 after contact and busting eight tackles in the process.

Just as impressive in defence, Hunt missed 0 tackles, making all eight that came his way to cap off another imposing performance.

NEXT UP

The Sharks will be looking to build upon back-to-back wins with a six-day turnaround before facing the Cowboys in Townsville on Thursday night.
