Sharks playmaker Chad Townsend, on his third field goal attempt, crushed the hearts of Dragons fans as Cronulla defeated their rivals 13-12 at Jubilee Stadium.
Townsend's first two attempts were charged down, however on his third attempt, the halfback got his kick off before any Dragons defender could get to him, slotting the kick from 15 metres out directly in front.
Following the crushing defeat, cameras captured the moment Bird was left showing no lack of emotion as the Dragons centre fought back tears.
"That's how much it means to them," rugby league great Billy Slater told Nine.
