Cronulla Sharks Form

The Sharks are in decent form without being fantastic or playing their best footy, still managing to win three of their last four matches.

A 28-18 win against Parramatta was the right result last week for the Sharks who have relied heavily on their defence and ability to play the game in the right part of the field.

The Sharks are first in run metres (1515m/G) and first in tackles in their opposition 20m (39.4/G) which puts them in a good position to score points and also correlates to their opponents starting their sets well in their own half, which is why the Sharks rank second in the NRL in average points conceded 18.4/G).

The issue for the Sharks has been their ability to turn those tackles inside the 20m into points, ranking 13th in Efficiency Inside 20m (tries/tackles inside opposition 20m).

Sifa Talakai is under concussion protocols and will sit out and Daniel Atkinson comes into the side.
