I was intent of steering clear of Bolt after seeing some of the nonsense that appeared in print yesterday across the nation.

Personally, I didn't see that as a controversy in any way shape or form. I know there are varying opinions but I had no real issue with it.

Penrith Panthers vs Cronulla Sharks: NRL highlights, live scores, blog

The Cronulla Sharks have outlasted the gallant Penrith Panthers to secure a 24-12 victory at Panthers Stadium. Most felt the Sharks would have the measure of the Panthers tonight with Penrith's State of Origin stars rested for this game, yet once again the young Panthers showed just what a future the Club has if they are able to keep ahold of their young talent. There will be money offered for Tyrone May, Jarome Luai and Viliame Kikau as soon as they are on the market, such is their current skill set and potential development. The match was certainly one of two halves with a stop start first period; littered with handling errors and penalties seeing the Panthers make a rod for their own back. Time and time again the Sharks were cheaply marched down field and they capitalised with tries to Sione Katoa and Valentine Holmes. A lone penalty for Luai saw the Sharks take a 12-2 lead to the break. The second half was a much better spectacle with Penrith scoring early through Waqa Blake and Cronulla responding with a Matt Moylan try after fifty four minutes. At that point, the young Panthers decided to lay it all on the line and began to move the ball liberally in attack. Corey Harawira-Naera crossed on the right edge and the conversion saw the home side back within six points with ten minutes remaining. They threatened the line again before Moylan broke their hearts with a clean break and try-scoring machine Holmes loomed up in support to score under the posts. The Sharks now join the Panthers on twenty-four points and look a likely top four contender. Penrith will look forward to the return of their Origin players next week and will be proud of the effort from the young team that took to the field tonight. Final Score Penrith 12 Cronulla 24
