"We had all of the momentum," he said.
"Halftime probably came at the wrong time for us and in the second half Lakes went to another level and we weren't quite able to go with them."
The Sharks dominated the second half with the Hawks playing with no bench as the TLU side were able to pile on 14 unanswered points to come away with the 30-10 victory.

"Credit to Lake Cargelligo they came out in the second half and played some really good footy and scored some really good tries that we were unable to defend," he said.
The Hawks will return home this weekend to take on Hay in their fist home game of the season and defence will be the area of focus.
"Defence is going to be a big focus for us over the next month," he said.

"We played really well in patches but we need to play for 80 minutes. It is a good learning curve for us.
"We had some new combinations today and things are going to take a couple of weeks to gel."
