Cronulla Sharks vs St George Illawarra Dragons Preview
A good old-fashioned rivalry game might be just what the doctor ordered for the Sharks and Dragons on Friday night.
Cronulla dropped its sixth straight game last week with a 10-point loss to the Rabbitohs, while the Dragons also backed up their strong win over the Bulldogs the week prior with a disappointing 44-18 loss at the hands of the Storm.
The Sharks took a 14-0 lead into the sheds when these two sides met back in March and did not look back on their way to a comfortable victory.
That win made it two straight for Cronulla over their fierce rivals, and with Shaun Johnson a decent chance at returning this week, there is a bit to like about the Sharks as the favourites.
The Dragons have been dealt another injury blow with Matt Dufty suffering a shoulder injury last week against the Storm, a worrying sign for a team that already leads the league in missed tackles.
Overall, it’s hard to feel good about either side, but the Sharks have an edge if Johnson plays.
