Star playmaker James Maloney admits his Cronulla teammates would still likely be haunted by last years playoffs thumping to North Queensland ahead of Fridays NRL preliminary final between the sides.And Sharks coach Shane Flanagan concurs that the heavy defeat will be on his players minds this week.The Sharks were beaten 39-0 in last seasons semi-final in Townsville as another finals campaign ended in abject disappointment.Maloney wasnt part of the Sharks set-up last year but the NSW playmaker knows plenty about the psychological impact losing big games can have.After winning the 2013 premiership with Sydney Roosters, Maloney has tasted defeat in the last two preliminary finals.Maloney said such crucial losses are hard to get over.It is probably in the back of their minds. It is not easy to forget things like that, Maloney said of his teammates at Sharks training on Sunday.I know some defeats we had (at the Roosters) that knocked us out still hurt.It will be there but that will only last so much. You can only carry emotion for so long.Once the game starts we have to put in a really good 80 minutes because we didnt do that against Canberra.The Sharks showed finals grit in last weeks qualifying win over Canberra, when they were without captain Paul Gallen due to a back injury and fellow NSW representative Wade Graham went off with concussion early and didnt return.Coach Shane Flanagan said the Sharks were a better side for the brutal finals lesson North Queensland handed out last year.We learnt a lot going up there last year. We thought the form we carried up there from the South Sydney game was going to continue into that week but it didnt, he said.It is in the back of the mind of the players and we learned from it but I am not sure that it is driving us.We have more motivation and reasons for our drive. To get to that grand final is the first point and if we are good enough to get there, then to win the first one (for Cronulla), that is our drive.North Queenslands epic defeat of Brisbane on Friday night showed the premiers were not going to give up their title with out a fight, Flanagan said.It was typical of a side that has won the competition, Flanagan said.You are going to have to find that courage, spirit and determination at some stage during a finals series and they showed that the other night.

Numbers Game examines the deal that sees Michael Del Zotto and Kevin Klein switch places. The Predators Get: D Michael Del Zotto. The Titans surged to their first win of the season with a massive innings and 38-run victory over the Dolphins in Centurion, and they did it courtesy two franchise debutants. Aiden Markram and Lungi Ngidi were both making their maiden first-class appearances for the Titans and showed that the young talent in Centurion is blossoming.Ngidi was first to the fore when he took four wickets in an opening spell that reduced the Dolphins to 61 for 4 in the 21st over. Senuran Muthusamy was the only Dolphins batsmen to show some fight and scored 52 but with no half-century stands, the Dolphins struggled to get over 200. They eked over the mark but not before Ngidi had picked up his fifth.Markram was promoted to the franchise team in the absence of Dean Elgar, who has left on Test duty, and he was a perfect fit. He partnered Heino Kuhn in an opening stand of 203 and then put on 120 with Grant Mokoena for the second wicket while scoring 162 of his own. The Titans were well in the lead by the time Markram was dismissed with the Dolphins unable to make many inroads despite the return of Andile Phehlukwayo. Although none of the Titans bottom seven batsmen made more than 32, they batted into the third day and amassed 432, a lead of 225.A worn-out Dolphins line-up up could not muster much resistance and by the time Ngidi bowled again, they were already three down. Khaya Zondo scored 68 but the Titans attack proved too strong for the rest. Wickets were shared all round with three each for Rowan Richards and Malusi Siboto while Ngigi added two for a match haul of seven. The Dolphins won their first two fixtures but only picked up 4.14 points in this match to drop off the top of the points table.At the other end of the log, the Cape Cobras remain in last place despite their high-scoring draw against the Warriors at Newlands. On a flat track, both teams racked up totals over 500 with no time for either to get into a second innings.The Warriors batsmen made first use of the surface. After Michael Price and Edward Moore put on 113 for the first wicket, new Leicestershire signing Colin Ackermann scored a career-best 146. Yaseen Vallie and Somilar Seyibokwe managed half-centuries each as the bowlers conceded unenviable amounts of runs. Beuran Hendricks gave away 100 runs while Tsepo Moreki and Test discard Dane Piedt had 110 and 155 runs taken off them. Piedt bowled a marathon 43 overs before the Warrriors declared on 525 for 7 on the second day.If tthey thought they had done enough to intimidate a Cobras side deep in turmoil over the future of coach Paul Adams, they were wrong.dddddddddddd. Omphile Ramela and Andrew Puttick, both of whom are among the players unhappy with Adams, put their troubles aside and scored 266 for the opening stand. It took Warriors 106.4 overs before they got their first wicket, when Puttick was bowled on 124. Ramela went on to make 170. Jason Smith, fresh off a half-century last weekend, was the other Cobras batsmen to record a milestone. He scored 63.The Warriors bowlers also took punishment. Sisanda Magala conceded 101 while another spinner no longer looked at at Test level, Simon Harmer, toiled the hardest. He bowled 69 overs for 176 runs before the teams shook hands on a draw in the third session on the final day.There was also no winner in Kimberley where the Knights and the Lions shared spoils, although the Knights will be the happier of the two sides. Their 8.88 points took them to the top of the table and Duanne Oliviers nine-wicket match haul means he now leads the wicket charts.After choosing to bat, the Lions were in early trouble at 133 for 4 but Nicky van den Bergh and Dwaine Pretorius took them out of it. They put on 83 runs for the fifth wicket and van den Burgh went on to score a century which was then topped up by Willem Mulder. The schoolboy shared in a 132-run eight-wicket partnership with Bjorn Fortuin and the Lions were dismissed for 483 - their first total over 300 this season.On a docile surface and with their big international name, David Miller, making his first appearance for them, the Knights had a ready response. Michael Erlank and Miller put on 243 for the third wicket and Miller went on to a career-best 177. The Lions attack was kept in the field for 142 overs before they bowled the Knights out, with Aya Myoli taking 4 for 145.The Knights made their 89-run first innings lead appear all the more valuable when their attack reduced the Lions to 92 for 5. Pretorius and Dominic Hendricks steadied the second innings with a 109-run sixth-wicket partnership before Olivier got in on the action. He took four wickets on the third afternoon even as the Lions took their lead over 200.
