  "account": "Round 25 of the NRL season concluded on Sunday, with Cronulla Sharks aiming to end a two-game losing streak against Gold Coast. The Sharks have a chance to climb into the top four, while the Roosters will need a win over Wests Tigers to secure the top spot on the ladder. Phil Sami broke Gold Coast's all-time try-scoring record with an early score, putting the Sharks ahead. Changes for Gold Coast included Moe Fotuaika and Arama Hau moving to the bench, while Kleese Haas and Kurtis Morrin started at prop and second row, respectively. Cronulla must rally to end their losing streak; confidence may be lacking after two consecutive defeats. Follow the live blog for updates and stats in the ScoreCentre, and listen to live radio coverage.",
