Cronulla Sharks vs Canterbury Bulldogs Preview
The Sharks should have their way with the Bulldogs at Shark Park on Friday night with Cameron Ciraldo persisting with his ridiculous team selections.
Cronulla may be a team that lacks upside but they are a good side that make a habit of throttling poor teams and the Bulldogs are just that.
The Sharks cover at 60.5% when favoured by more than a try and have a dominant recent record against the Bulldogs with five straight wins of more than 12.
Briton Nikora will be running at Jaeman Salmon all game and that reaped two tries for Bryce Cartwright last week.
Nikora has 16 tries in his last 50 games and has crossed in three of his last four against the Bulldogs, while Ronaldo Mulitalo has 39 tries in 48 games across the last three years.
Sione Katoa has seven tries in six games against the Bulldogs and William Kennedy has 14 tries in his last 20 games.
