The high-flying Cronulla Sharks host the embattled Parramatta Eels tonight in what will surely be an exciting encounter. Join us on The Roar from 7:30pm (AEST) for all of the action.
With 11 consecutive wins to their name, the Sharks sit atop the NRL ladder and look a side to be reckoned with this season.
Although needing golden point last week to beat the Warriors 19-18, Cronulla have found a way to win games they would’ve easily lost a season ago.
Despite a host of representative players, the Sharks have survived the Origin period unscathed and are set to have even more bite now these stars are now likely over any post-Game 2 fatigue.
The Eels’ season meanwhile continues to find new lows as question marks continue to hover around winger Semi Radradra and his future with the club.
With Kieran Foran ruled out for the season and an impending stripping of 12 competition points, Parramatta will be hoping to avoid any further lows tonight against what could well be a lethal Sharks outfit.
The Sharks will be wanting to get the points tonight so that they can jump back ahead of the Melbourne Storm on the ladder after the Storm took top spot temporarily last night with a big win over the Brisbane Broncos.
Points aren’t a big concern for the Eels as their forthcoming penalty for salary cap breaches will almost certainly make them irrelevant to the 2016 finals series – however, a win would certainly be nice for morale.
Both sides plan to line-up almost identically as last week with the only change at this stage seeing Sosaia Feki added to an extended 18 man Sharks squad.
Can Cronulla make it 12 wins in a row or will the Eels spring an upset? Join us on The Roar from 7:30pm (AEST) to find out as the Cronulla Sharks play the Parramatta Eels.
