Canterbury Bankstown Bulldogs beat Cronulla Sutherland Sharks after Matt Burton field goal in golden point

Stephen Crichton says he doesn't really know how to answer the question, but backs Hynes to come back.

"His next few weeks is probably going to be big for him," Crichton says.

"He's probably the guy who can bring himself out of that.

"There's no doubt he'll come back bigger and better."

Cameron Ciraldo is speaking now.

"It was awesome.

"I thought we did a lot of good things tonight.

"I felt like we've lost a few of those this year so it was nice to get one."

Ciraldo said Matt Burton's ability to move on from mistakes is a special talent.

"It's a bit of a goldfish mindset, I think.

"He's just so brave. It's not easy to miss a couple and still go after it.

"We back him. He had a couple of shots, and they were very close, but he learned his lessons from them and he was able to nail that last one."

Stephen Crichton said Burton's kicking game was the difference.

"His kicking game was probably the difference today," he says.

"For it to come out on the big stage is awesome."

Matt Burton spoke to ABC Radio after his match-winning effort.

"It's all off the back of the hard work that the boys have been putting in," he says.

"There's nothing better.

"To get that, it feels good."

Fitzgibbon says Nicho Hynes will be hurting after that blown field goal miss.

"Yeah, it is. That's part of the job and responsibility, your spine and playmakers...," he says.

"That will sting, he's got to dust himself off pretty quick and look forward to the next moment.

"It's a good opportunity to shape him really."

He says the errors are an opportunity for him.

"It's gunna shape him. You've got to go through it.

"He's accepting of it.

"I feel like the last couple of weeks, he's acknowledged it. It's gunna sting."

Skipper Cam McInnes said the Sharks are all behind him.

"He's our guy. We're all behind him. We'll do great things with him leading us."

Craig Fitzgibbon is speaking now.

"They hurt those ones, when you, once again, missed a kick, [it's] frustrating.

"We spoke about our starts and worked on them, and missed it.

"We did the hardest parts of the game really well. Only three points against in the second half.

"You have to ice your moments and we didn't."

He says the Sharks will win more matches than they don't if they play like that.

"I thought the performances before the bye were average, I thought tonight was alright."

The biggest issue was discipline.

"Some of the discipline.

"I thought some were head scratchers, The six again's, there were some we deserved, others not.

"In those games, the moments add up and discipline cost us."

We're just waiting to hear from the press conferences.

The coaches thoughts, as ever, will be fascinating.

Missing two kicks off the tee - admittedly from out wide.

But that last kick was a shocker and he needed to get that.

Craig Fitzgibbon said on Thursday that Hynes has "nothing to prove" for his side, but he was not great there and he was not great two weeks ago either.

Pressure is part of the game. Hynes needs to pick himself up again.

Matt Burton kicks it from 38 metres to get the ball through the upright!

It absolutely cannoned into the right upright - it's only the fact that Burton absolutely leathers the ball that it has enough on it to go through.

The Olympic stadium erupts in joy and the Bulldogs are all over each other! Terrific stuff.

Oh no! Nicho Hynes misses a field goal from dead in front!

It wa sa poor kick - a poor pass to the kicker - and it all went wrong.

The Dogs have a seven-tackle set.

The Bulldogs will review this - but it looked like there was one man in the tackle and Sam Hughes lost it.

They lose the review and it is the Sharks in great field position 35 metres out!

The Bulldogs have won six of their last seven golden point matches.

These two teams have never met each other in golden point.

Burton kicks a field goal attempt from an enormous distance out - and misses by just a fraction to the right of the uprights.

It seemed a bit late and hurried by the Bulldogs in the end - but that was always the play with 15 seconds to go.

He had the distance by at least 10 metres - he could attempt something from 60 in golden point.

Oregon Kaufusi blocks a Bulldogs chaser as Brayden Trindall tries to kick a field goal - missing badly anyway.

But it's a penalty for the escort!

Matt Burton kicks a massive bomb from 40 metres out - but he misses the uprights!

Oh that was so close.

It shows how far he needs to be to get a shot off - something the Sharks have to account for.

A disrupted set for the Sharks, helping the Bulldogs reset in the dying seconds of this match.

Bailey Hayward is forced to grubbed as the Bulldogs again thrust into the Sharks line with their two-up efforts.

But Toby Rudolf grabbed hold of him as he ran past and it's a penalty dead in front of the posts.

It's converted by Burton and we're level at 14-14!

Sexton does really well to get a kick away, Curran was there bobbling and juggling the ball until Kennedy hits him and the ball goes forward.

A wonderful defensive effort off the back of the penalty and another six-again call against the Sharks.

It's incredibly tense and the Olympic Stadium crowd are roaring the Dogs on.

A crusher tackle on Blake Wilson from Oregon Kaufusi is viewed on report.

Wilson looks to be in a bit of pain here - just struggling at the moment with that neck and he's getting treatment.
