Show Preview
NRL’s Magic Round continues as the Cronulla Sharks take on the Dolphins. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 5:30pm (AEST).
After a rocky start to the year, the Sharks currently sit in second spot on the NRL ladder. Nicho Hynes continues to orchestrate the attack with ease, providing great leadership both on and off the field.
For this match, Braden Hamlen-Uele is out due to an MCL injury, with Royce Hunt promoted to starting prop. Dale Finucane is back in the Sharks’ starting side, as Cameron McInnes is demoted to the interchange.
The NRL’s new franchise has had a positive impact on the competition so far, only sitting outside the top eight due to points differential. Wayne Bennett will coach his 900th game of first grade rugby league, and he will get his boys fired up for the occasion.
Robert Jennings is dropped for Tesi Niu, while the big inclusion for the Dolphins is Anthony Milford, with the Samoan international named on the interchange. Although the hamstrung Brenko Lee has been named at centre, Valynce Te Whare is likely to make his NRL debut should the Queensland representative fail his fitness tests before kick-off.
Prediction
The Sharks are brimming with confidence as they march to Brisbane aiming to extend their three-match winning streak. However, they have not won a Magic Round clash since 2019.
The Dolphins have had some memorable victories at Suncorp Stadium in their short NRL history ,and will hope to create more memorable moments this week. If they can start better, the Dolphins should run away with it, but the Sharks should have too much firepower in this clash.
