Interesting future article given the game isn't over.

THE Bulldogs have suffered a tough decision, with Andrew Fifita scoring a try, despite Sosaia Feki clearly putting his foot out earlier in the set.
Will Hopoate inexplicably neglected to pick the ball up after a stray Sharks pass for fear of being bundled into touch, allowing Feki to pounce.
However Hopoate made amends by pulling Feki into touch, but play went on resulting in a try to Fifita on the other side of the field.
There was conjecture over Fifita’s try anyway, as lead runner Luke Lewis appeared to take out Lachlan Lewis in the Bulldogs’ defensive line.
However the play should never have got that far, as Greg Alexander noted in the commentary box, that Feki may have gone into touch on the far side.
“I think he was out,” Alexander said.
Replays confirmed Alexander’s suspicions, but the try had been awarded and the Sharks shot out to a commanding 12-2 lead.
Feki went on to score later in the half, despite again flirting with the touch line, but this time it was a fair try and the Sharks led 20-12 at the break.
