Cronulla Sharks vs Dolphins prediction
Dolphins may just be building a little bit of momentum following that crucial first win of the season and they’ll face Cronulla Sharks with optimism and certainly no fear. The Sharks are extremely strong at home, thrashing Gold Coast Titans 50-10 in their last home fixture but were beaten last time out, losing 26-6 to Penrith Panthers.
This match will likely be decided on which Dolphins defence turns up. Will it be the one who gave up just 14 points against the Titans, or the one who conceded 40 vs the Rabbitohs. With Cronulla at home, they may just have the edge and backing them warrants serious consideration.
