New Zealand Warriors vs Cronulla Sharks Preview
Despite the latter currently clutching to eighth, I’m pretty confident in saying that I don’t think the Warriors or the Sharks will play finals footy in 2021, but one club can at least strengthen their claims in Round 21.
The Warriors have often gone close without taking vital points, but they’ve also been blown off the park plenty of times.
They do enter this match in winning form after sneaking past a competitive Wests Tigers outfit, and I subsequently think that they are a touch of overs in match betting here.
The Sharks were competitive in the first half of their Round 20 tie with the Sea Eagles, but they left that spirit in the sheds at half time and were comfortably beaten again.
I’m employing the same betting strategy here as I have in the first two matches of the round.
