Preview:
After a pair of much-needed victories respectively last week, don’t be surprised if this turns out to be the game of the round.
South Sydney’s midseason slump feels like a distant memory now after stringing together their third straight win last week. The Bunnies were at their best in a Dane Gagai inspired victory over the Dragons, leaving South’s just four points shy of the ladder leading Storm.
The Sharks find themselves right where the Rabbitohs were a month ago, but if last week’s 16-14 win over the Cowboys is anything to go by, Cronulla still might play finals just yet.
John Morris’ side sits tied on points with the Tigers and Knights, making Saturday night’s game crucial if Cronulla hopes to rejoin finals contention.
Of course, to make matters even more complicated, picking a winner in this one appears tricky – the Rabbitohs and Sharks have both won two of their last four meetings against one another.
Recent form suggests the Bunnies should be too strong for Cronulla however, especially with Gagai, Damien Cook and Cody Walker all enjoying a big game last week.
The Sharks defence should keep this game low-scoring, but it’s tough to see Cronulla making an impact on the scoreboard following last week’s spotty performance against the Titans.
