South Sydney Rabbitohs vs Cronulla Sharks prediction
This has to be seen as a big opportunity for Cronulla Sharks when taking into account the injury issues being dealt with by the hosts. To lose Latrell Mitchell in particular is a monster setback and it would be no surprise to see the Rabbitohs’ performance adversely affected while he is not in the line-up.
For Cronulla, the question is what side of them will we see? The side that saw them demolish Wests Tigers 52-10 last time out? Or the side beaten by North Queensland Cowboys the week before that. Against weakened opposition, there is significant value in backing the visitors to edge out the Rabbitohs.
