Sharks vs Titans – Round 8, 2017

Cronulla hasn’t conceded a try for the last 169 minutes of game time. Let that sink in.

Their premiership defence is well and truly back and they were clinical on both ends last week as they put the Penrith Panthers back in their place.

The Titans come off a heart-breaking loss against the Broncos last week and came away from the game with more injuries. Their fans have a lot to smile about as there is certainly no shortage of effort from a team getting pieced together each week by coach Neil Henry.

They could be buoyed by the return of Kevin Proctor, Jarryd Hayne and Konrad Hurrell who’ve all been named on an extended bench. While their defence continues to leak points, they have no problem finding the try line themselves which gives them the ability to trouble this stingy Cronulla defence.

In saying that, Cronulla will want to improve their 1-2 home record this season and should do so this weekend.

Cronulla by 10.
