St. George Illawarra Dragons vs Cronulla Sharks Preview

Cronulla will look to extend its outstanding run of form when it crosses southern Sydney to face St George Illawarra on Sunday afternoon. The Sharks have won 10 of their past 11 matches and remain firmly in the race for the minor premiership, while the Dragons continue to battle through a difficult campaign despite showing resilience in recent weeks.

The Sharks have won 11 of the past 12 meetings between the clubs and again enter the local derby as strong favourites. Mawene Hiroti comes into the Cronulla side after KL Iro’s concussion, while the Dragons reshuffle their forward pack following Toby Couchman’s injury. Nicho Hynes has consistently excelled against St George Illawarra, and another influential performance from the star halfback could keep the Sharks’ impressive late-season charge rolling.
