Cronulla Sharks vs North Queensland Cowboys Preview
The Sharks, currently leading the table at 4-1, are seeking defensive improvement despite recent wins. Debutant Sam Stonestreet fills in for the suspended Sione Katoa. The Cowboys, sitting at 4-2, are vulnerable after losses to stronger opponents. Scott Drinkwater’s brilliance is pivotal, but inconsistency plagues them. Semi Valemei replaces the injured Murray Taulagi. Historically, the Sharks have dominated this matchup, winning 10 of their last 11 encounters. Last season’s victories included a 44-6 rout and a 32-12 win. With a strong home record and the Cowboys’ struggles away, the Sharks are rightfully favored by 3.5 points.
