In the first second of the grand final qualifier between the Roosters and Sharks , Jocelyn Kelleher likely had regret in her mind after booting the kick-off out.

It wasn't the only redemption arc after Brydie Parker was sin binned with 13 minutes on the clock and then popped up at the end to stop the Sharks' final attacking raid. Advertisement

"What an incredible game of rugby league that was ... we got a glimpse of (Roosters coach) John Strange shaking his head from pure relief and there's heartbreak for Cronulla," Allana Ferguson said on Nine.
