THE TEAM NEWS

CANTERBURY BULLDOGS

• Canterbury Bulldogs were outclassed by Parramatta Eels last week as their mounting injury crisis severely hampered them from being competitive.
• The Dogs have now lost successive matches and have allowed 80 points in the process and to make matters worse, in-form Jacob Kiraz is the latest to join their ever-growing list of unavailable players.

Starting 13: Perham, Casey, Averillo, Alamoti, Burns, Flanagan, Burton, King, Mahoney, Pangai Jnr., Waddell, Preston, Faitala-Mariner – Interchanges: Reynolds, Okunbor, Davey, Sutton – Reserves: Oloapu, Topine, Hughes, Skelton, Hoffman

Unavailable: Luke Thompson (Injured), Bailey Biondi-Odi (Injured), Chris Patolo (Injured), Fa’amanu Brown (Injured), Viliame Kikau (Injured), Franklin Pele (Injured), Josh Addo-Carr (Injured), Jacob Kiraz (Injured)

CRONULLA SHARKS

• Cronulla Sharks bounced back from their loss to New Zealand Warriors by overcoming Sydney Roosters thanks to a superb defensive performance last week.
• The Sharks have been inconsistent all year with them yet to win successive games but they will view this as an excellent opportunity to end that run and will go with the same 17 in their efforts to do so.

Starting 13: Kennedy, Katoa, Ramien, Talakai, Mulitalo, Moylan, Hynes, Kaufusi, Brailey, Hamlin-Uele, Nikora, Wilton, McInnes – Interchanges: Graham, Williams, Hunt, Hazelton – Reserves: Trindall, Tracey, Hau Tapuha, Hiroti, Berrell

Unavailable: Kade Dykes (Injured), Toby Rudolf (Injured), Dale Finucane (Suspended)

THE PREDICTION

Canterbury Bulldogs have been the victims of an injury crisis so far this season and their lack of troops has really shown in the last few games. They struggled on both sides of the ball against Parramatta Eels last week and they look set to suffer further woe here. Cronulla Sharks come into this having produced one of their best performances of the campaign with a win over Sydney Roosters and they should be able to make it back-to-back successes for the first time this season.
