The Gold Coast Titans travel to Sydney to take on the Cronulla Sharks in a desperate bid to keep their season alive. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 6pm AEST.
The Sharks showed in Perth that they are capable of knocking over the big boys, but Craig Fitzgibbon would have been disappointed with how the Sharks ended their clash. Sitting at 6th position on the NRL ladder, the Sharks will be buoyed taking on an inconsistent Titans outfit at home.
Ronaldo Mulitalo is the headline inclusion, while Tom Hazelton is out having failed concussion protocols.
Since Justin Holbrook got the sack, the Titans have lost five of their past seven clashes.
Sitting four points outside of the top eight and having a negative points differential, every game is a grand final for the Titans if they want to play finals football. Skipper Tino Fa’asuamaleaui returns from suspension, however AJ Brimson is out due to a rib injury.
Prediction
The Sharks have struggled at home at times. However at the back end of the season with the Titans struggling for consistency, this is the perfect fixture for the Sharks to flex their muscle and get one win closer to finals football. Sharks by 16

FULL TIME CRO 36 GLD 6 Once Foran was out with his injury, the Titans were heavily up against it and ultimately did well not to have conceded 50 points. The Sharks were far too good this evening. I thought Tracey and Katoa were the best players today. The Sharks are back in the top four and could stay there should the Storm lose against the Raiders. Race for fourth is well and truly a three horse race.

80' Shoulder charge from Nikora. Penalty Titans as they get one last play to round off the game. They shift right before Sami grubbers. Tracey cleans up and that's full time. Sharks win!

Good hard run Toby, they’ve been arm wrestling most of this half and been patient which is great… would like to see the sharks show a bit of ruthlessness now.
