Preview:
The Sydney Roosters looked every bit the premiership favourite last round as they clobbered the Broncos at the SCG. The Chooks kicking game was on point in their 32-point romp a week ago and they scored some scintillating tries to match. They make the trip to the Shire on Saturday night to take on the inconsistent Sharks. Cronulla will have Paul Gallen and Shaun Johnson back in their ranks after both missed their 24-12 loss to Parra last weekend. The Roosters go from strength to strength, with international forward Jared Waerea-Hargreaves back in the pack after missing last week with a rib injury. The Chooks have won three on the trot against the Sharks, including both games last season by 18 and 9 points. Prior to their winning streak against the side from Cronulla, the Roosters had dropped six on the trot to the team in blue and white, dating back to 2014. These two sides can both cough up the ball, ranking third and fourth in errors this season, but it is the Roosters that have been able to score more points than Cronulla, snaring 8 more points a game so far in 2019. Look for their three game winning streak to stretch to four in a fiesty encounter.
