Show Preview
Sunday afternoon coverage of the NRL starts off with the Cronulla Sharks and New Zealand Warriors facing off at PointsBet Stadium. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 4:05pm (AEST).
It’s been a cagey start for the Sharks, but they are back on home territory after three consecutive trips spanning across Sydney and the ACT. The Sharks were buoyed by the return of halfback Nicho Hynes as they won their derby game against St George Illawarra Dragons 40-8 at Kogarah.
While the win was nice, coach Craig Fitzgibbon would have been more pleased with the defensive effort to keep the opposition to single digit points. Fitzgibbon has retained the same starting 13 that won last week, but will miss the services of Oregon Kaufusi who is serving his 11 day stand down period after a failed HIA last week.
There’s a bit of quiet confidence amongst the Warriors. They’re finally back on home soil permanently, they’ve recruited well and they’re currently sitting on fourth. Is it their year? Probably not, but the signs of improvement are definitely there. Shaun Johnson is starting to rediscover his old mojo, and the Warriors will need that with Te Maire Martin out due to a head knock.
It would have been a coin toss for me to predict this game had both teams been at full strength. But the loss of Martin for the Warriors could be one hurdle too many. And their record in Cronulla is poor.
