THE TEAM NEWS

CRONULLA SHARKS

• Cronulla Sharks produced an abysmal performance as they were on the end of a hammering against Melbourne Storm last week and there will need to be a huge response here.
• Craig Fitzgibbon was fuming with his side’s defensive efforts as well as their sloppiness with ball in hand but has opted against wielding the axe with just one enforced change owing to Royce Hunt’s injury which sees Thomas Hazelton return to the bench.

Starting 13: Kennedy, Katoa, Ramien, Talakai, Mulitalo, Moylan, Hynes, Kaufusi, Brailey, Hamlin-Uele, Nikora, Wilton, Finucane – Interchanges: McInnes, Graham, Williams, Hazelton – Reserves: Tracey, Trindall, Rudolf, Atkinson, Colquhoun

Unavailable: Kade Dykes (Injured), Royce Hunt (Injured)

CANTERBURY BULLDOGS

• Canterbury Bulldogs’ poor run of form continued as they suffered a fourth defeat in their last five outings after they went down to Parramatta Eels on Monday.
• The Bulldogs were poor in that contest as they struggled to deal with the Eels’ ball movement and they have now lost winger Josh Addo-Carr who will be away on Origin duty for this game.

Starting 13: Perham, Kiraz, Averillo, Alamoti, Burns, Oloapu, Burton, Patolo, Mahoney, Pangai Jnr., Okunbor, Preston, Edwards – Interchanges: Rajab, Morrin, King, Waddell – Reserves: Skelton, Flanagan, Brown, Topine, Pele

Unavailable: Luke Thompson (Injured), Bailey Biondi-Odi (Injured), Viliame Kikau (Injured), Raymond Faitala-Mariner (Injured), Samuel Hughes (Injured), Josh Addo-Carr (Origin)

THE PREDICTION

Cronulla Sharks will be out to right the wrongs of last week’s horror show against Melbourne Storm and will believe they can as they host Canterbury Bulldogs. The visitors have lost four of their last five matches and looked really underwhelming in their clash with Parramatta Eels and having also lost their past four clashes against the Sharks, it would be a surprise if the home side were unable to return to winning ways in this one.
