South Sydney’s slim hopes of finals football ended last week and with Latrell Mitchell still out and Cody Walker now hurt, they seem ripe for the picking by a Sharks team that needs a statement win.
Best Bet
Cronulla look a chips-in job this week back at home and with Will Kennedy on hand against a South Sydney team now looking to play out the season and without some of their biggest names.
Souths have struggled whenever Latrell Mitchell has been unavailable and that is set to get worse with Cody Walker also ruled out this week.
The Sharks get back fullback Will Kennedy, a huge inclusion.
This is a wonderful spot for the Sharks too with Top 4 teams off a loss at the backend of the season covering at 85%.
Cronulla are also 11-5 ATS at Shark Park with a 6-3 cover record off a loss and an 8-4 cover record as a double digit favourite at the ground.
Souths have covered just two of their last nine as an underdog of eight or more.
The Sharks are entitled to win this in a canter.
