Cronulla Sharks vs Newcastle Knights Preview

The Sharks take on the Knights in the Shire in the first of three Saturday fixtures on Round 12 of the NRL.

Something has happened at the Sharks these last couple of weeks, but I can’t figure out what.

Firstly, it was their worst effort of the season against the Dolphins in Magic Round.

Then, in Round 11, they flew out of the gates against a bad Manly side, but were probably lucky to hold on after going to sleep at half time.

Now they line up against an unpredictable Knights team who were arguably at their best in Round 11.

Any talk of Kalyn Ponga not being in the right nick for Origin was all but put to bed when he led his club to a big win over the Titans last week, and another one here will put the Queensland fullback race to bed once and for all.

If the Sharks click, they are a class above the Knights and should win, but it does look to be a big IF after the last couple of weeks.

I’m having a crack at the upset.
