St George Illawarra have jumped to the top of the NRL ladder with a 42-6 dismantling of Cronulla at Jubilee Oval on Sunday.
The Dragons racked up their biggest win of the season after running in six tries to one against a listless Sharks side which shot itself in the foot repeatedly.
Paul McGregor's side went into the game having scored the fewest tries in the NRL, despite being entrenched in the top four.
However in front of 18,011 fans they showed they possessed plenty of spark in attack.
The Sharks were terrible in patches, committing fundamental errors including kicking dead from the kick-off twice, Ben Barba throwing a wild pass on his own goal line and Michael Ennis giving away a penalty after failing to make 10 metres from the drop out.
