Preview:
There’s no love lost between these two rivals as the Sharks hope to rejoin the eight against the down and out Dragons.
In a game they had to have, Cronulla came up short last week to the Panthers to spiral down to ninth on the ladder. The Sharks now face a difficult run home, making this week’s game all the more important if Cronulla is to play finals.
The Dragons lost 22-9 against the Sharks back in Round 11, although they’ll still hold fond memories of Shark Park having won their last two trips to Cronulla.
Unfortunately, the Sharks own a tidy 6-3 record at home this year, and they typically tend to play well defensively in front of their hometown fans.
Speaking of defence, the Dragons also lead the league in tackles made this season. Cronulla’s last five home games against St. George have all gone Under the Total, so back this one to be low scoring.
Tip: Cronulla Sharks at $1.34
Value Tip: First Try Scorer: Josh Morris at $8.50
