Cronulla Sharks vs St. George Illawarra Dragons prediction
Being at home immediately gives Cronulla Sharks the advantage. Shark Park has been a happy hunting ground recently for Cronulla, who have reeled off wins in each of their last two games played in front of their own fans. They’ve also picked up back-to-back victories leading into this match, accumulating 66 points in the process.
St. George Illawarra Dragons will hope their first win of the season against Brisbane Broncos is the beginning of a renaissance. The reality though, is that it is more likely to be a false down. Cronulla are an intimidating attacking unit and their creativity is likely to cause the Dragons backline real problems. You’d expect them to overpower the visitors and win this one fairly comprehensively.
