CRONULLA SHARKS VS GOLD COAST TITANS PREDICTION
Cronulla Sharks have stuttered recently and have won just one of their last five. Their last two losses have been really close affairs but they need to find a way of getting back to winning ways if they want to remain in the top four. Gold Coast Titans posted 66 points last time out so will be on a real high but the Sharks have won the past nine matchups between the two teams so they are favoured here.
