Spurred on by the return of superstar No.7 Nicho Hynes, a commanding 40-8 victory over the Dragons has seen the Sharks jump seven places in the NRL Power Rankings after Round 4.
Cronulla crossed five times in the second half to record their second victory of the year, which came after a pair of losses by under 10 points and a four-point victory over the Eels.
Craig Fitzgibbon's men now sit fifth in the Power Rankings, one spot higher than their ladder position, while the Dragons conversely are this week's big fallers, down six places to 15th.
The Knights are the other major movers, with a second-half effort which saw them score 16 unanswered points to beat the Raiders by 10.
The Knights are running hot
While they sit 12th on the Telstra Premiership ladder, Adam O'Brien's side are now 7th in the Power Rankings ahead of Saturday's trip to take on the Sea Eagles.
The Broncos solidified their standing at the top of both the Power Rankings and NRL ladder with a hard-fought victory over the Dolphins, and up next they face a Wests Tigers side who sit dead last in both the rankings and on the ladder.
A narrow win over the Bulldogs sees the Warriors jump one place into third, with Manly dropping three spots after a heartbreaking golden point loss to the Rabbitohs, who despite winning have fallen two spots to 12th.
Stats that prove games have never been closer
Alongside the Sea Eagles, the Rabbitohs have the biggest variance between rankings standing and ladder position, each sitting four spots lower in the rankings than they do on the ladder.
