THE TEAM NEWS
CRONULLA SHARKS
- Cronulla Sharks were superb as they caused an upset in Round 1, defeating New Zealand Warriors across the ditch and they will be confident of backing that up here.
- The Sharks will have to cope without prop Braden Hamlin-Uele once again as he recovers from a knee injury but Dale Finucane will partake in his 250th NRL game.
Starting 13: 1. William Kennedy 2. Sione Katoa 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Siosifa Talakai 5. Ronaldo Mulitalo 6. Braydon Trindall 7. Nicho Hynes 8. Toby Rudolf 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Oregon Kaufusi 11.

CANTERBURY BULLDOGS
- Canterbury Bulldogs were underwhelming in their opening game of the season as they were no match for Parramatta Eels and it could take some time for them to get going this season.
- The Dogs have opted for some consistency in their team selection, rather than making wholesale changes, but they are forced into one change with Connor Tracey coming in for the injured Josh Addo-Carr who is still in with a chance of featuring having been named on the extended bench.
Starting 13: 1. Blake Taaffe 2. Blake Wilson 3. Jacob Kiraz 4. Stephen Crichton 5. Connor Tracey 6. Matt Burton 7. Drew Hutchison 8. Max King 9. Reed Mahoney 10. Poasa Faamausili 11. Viliame Kikau 12. Jacob Preston 13. Jaeman Salmon Bench: 14. Kurt Mann 15. Samuel Hughes 16. Josh Curran 17. Kurtis Morrin Reserves: 19. Bronson Xerri 20. Kitione Kautoga 21. Jake Turpin 22. Toby Sexton 23. Josh Addo-Carr
THE PREDICTION
Cronulla Sharks raised some eyebrows with their performance last week as they surprised New Zealand Warriors away from home. They now get the chance to build on that against a Canterbury Bulldogs outfit that looked like they will take some time to gel, owing to their new-look side. The Sharks have won the past five matchups between the two teams and there is little to suggest that they will be unable to keep that run intact here.
TIP: CRONULLA SHARKS -6
