Cronulla Sharks vs Dolphins Preview

Cronulla have started the season looking sharp, showing strong attacking structure and plenty of points through the first two rounds. The Sharks’ halves combination has been particularly effective in creating opportunities for their outside backs. The Dolphins have been competitive but inconsistent, with defensive lapses costing them at key moments. To challenge Cronulla they will need to improve their edge defence and limit the Sharks’ attacking momentum. Cronulla’s ability to generate quick ruck speed and maintain pressure inside the opposition half makes them dangerous favourites. From a betting perspective the Sharks’ attacking form suggests they can cover moderate lines, although Dolphins matches often produce points which may bring the totals market into play.
