Preview:
The Sharks are quietly going about their business with two wins and a loss this season under new coach John Morris, but will arguably face their toughest test this weekend against Parramatta. The Eels lost to the Roosters in round three, despite leading midway through the second half, in a performance they will take plenty away from. Five-eighth Dylan Brown’s back injury sees Jaeman Salmon make his first appearance of the season for Parra. The Sharks took the two competition points against the Cows last weekend but lost Matt Moylan to a hamstring strain, with Josh Dugan to fill in at full back. Paul Gallen is named to start this one, despite going off in the first half with a rib injury a week ago. The Wolf knows The Sharks have won five on the trot against Parra, but none of those have been by more than 14 points. It should be another close one on Saturday night, with Cronulla’s veteran experience to prove the difference.
