The Warriors have fumbled another early lead in a 38-16 loss to Cronulla as NRL life under Stacey Jones began the way it ended under Nathan Brown
.
A restart kicked out on the full didn’t help and another knock-on led to Matthew Moylan strolling over for a fourth try, before Sione Katoa made it five before half-time. But again mistakes crippled their comeback in Redcliffe, with Sharks fullback Will Kennedy planting a loose ball fumbled by opposite number Reece Walsh a staggering eight times before he finally dropped it.
“We just fell back into some habits they’ve got to get out of. I’d like to fix it straight away but it might take some time.”Walsh was otherwise impressive aside from his memorable fumble, playing with confidence and breaking a 15-game scoring drought with his first-half try.
