The Storm hooker looked gobsmacked when referee Grant Atkins sent him for 10 minutes saying:“There’s a duty of care,there’s a dangerous action”.

In the next minute,the Sharks were in for their second try with prop Oregon Kaufusi charging over right where Grant would have defended,with Atkinson adding the extras for a 12-12 scoreline at half-time.

Jesse Ramien continued to press for a NSW State of Origin call-up when the centre used his power to steamroll over and put his team ahead.

Covering for injured Melbourne halfback Jahrome Hughes,Tyran Wishart tied the match up again when he ran on to a Munster ball in the 68th minute.

With just five NRL matches to his name,including one game with Melbourne,23-year-old Atkinson showed his class to edge his team ahead with the field goal before the Sharks wrapped up a memorable win.
