Sharks – No Changes Made

Cowboys – No Changes Made

What We Like

The Cronulla Sharks have a terrible record in the NRL Finals – losing four matches in the past three seasons – but will be looking to change that on Friday night. Not only will they have the home-ground advantage, but they will also be used to the temperature and weather. They will also be looking to put an end to rumours that they can’t perform in important matches.

Match Result Cronulla Sharks $1.60

Final Thought

No matter the result between the Sharks and the Cowboys, a close result is expected, and the score will likely be within the four-point line. The two teams are great on both ends of the field but will enter the match with high expectations.

Roosters – In: Jared Waerea-Hargreaves / Out: Zach Dockar-Clay

Sea Eagles – No Changes Made

What We Like

While the Roosters will enter the match as favourites, they will still be without several star players and put on a poor performance against the Panthers last week. On the other hand, the Sea Eagles clinched a win against the Bulldogs and Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans are entering their prime of the season.

Match Result Manly Sea Eagles $2.30

Final Thought

The Roosters may not walk away with the win but they relatively start the game strong and fast and will be eager to make up for last week’s disappointing performance against the Panthers. Don’t be surprised if they score first through their two wingers in Daniel Tupou or Dominic Young.
