Cronulla Sharks vs North Queensland Cowboys Semi-Final Preview: Odds And Best Bets

The Cowboys are flying down to Sydney on Friday night to take on the Sharks at Allianz Stadium. The Cowboys are coming off a solid performance against the Knights in Townsville, where they kept Newcastle to just four points in the second half.

On the flip side, last week, the Sharks played terribly against the Storm in Melbourne, conceding six tries and failing to get on the scoreboard in the second half. Cronulla will be looking to bounce back in this do-or-die semi-final but will be upset that the game is being played at Allianz Stadium rather than at Shark Park!

Prediction: Sharks to Win

The Sharks’ poor performance last week is deceptive as the Storm are just so much better than every team in the comp. We expect the Sharks to bounce back strongly against the Cowboys. Both teams have high-flying attacks, racking up 27 points per game. However, the difference will be the Sharks’ defence.

Line: Sharks -3.5

The Sharks concede only 17.9 points per game, while the Cowboys give up over 23 points. Then, when you add in the home-ground advantage, the Sharks should win by at least a try.
