Cronulla Sharks vs Newcastle Knights Preview
Both the Sharks and Knights come off impressive wins but Cronulla are the clear bet in this one. Even with no Trindall or Hynes in the halves, the Sharks can dominate the middle and force the Knights into a chasing situation early that will not suit them at all. Teams off a defensive shutout the last four seasons cover at 64% while the Sharks are 10-6 against the spread as a home favourite. Cronulla also hold form when scoring well, covering 11 of 16 off scoring more than 30. Briton Nikora has four tries in his last seven games and is in great tryscoring form. Kayal Iro has three tries in his last four games.
