Dragons vs Sharks Round 25 Tips – 25/08/2024

St. George Illawarra Dragons vs Cronulla Sharks NRL Round 25 betting tips. Our expert NRL tipster previews Sunday’s game at Wollongong Showground.

The Sharks are heading to Wollongong Showground on Sunday afternoon to take on the Dragons. This is a legendary grudge match, and the title for the best team in the Shire is at stake. 

The Dragons and Sharks are both coming off wins and have been playing solid footy recently. The Dragons are clinging onto 8th position and need a win to stay in finals contention. The Sharks are in 4th but also need a victory as the Bulldogs are nipping at their heels. 

Prediction: Sharks to Win

The Sharks have a history of thumping the Dragons. In fact, Cronulla has won the last 5 games, and we are backing them to do it again. The Dragons are going to struggle to crack the Shark’s defensive line, which only concedes 17.6 points per game (3rd best in the NRL). The Sharks also have a high-flying attack, racking up 26 points per game. 

Line: Sharks -3.5

The last 5 times these two teams have met, the Sharks have won by more than 3.5 points on every occasion. The Dragons’ defence is leaky, and their attack is nothing special, while the Sharks have a very tough-to-break defence. The Sharks are at least 6 points better than the Dragons.
