Cronulla Sharks vs St George Illawarra Dragons Preview & Prediction

Round 9 comes to a close with the Sharks hosting the St George Illawarra Dragons on Sunday evening.

The Sharks are coming off a dominant 40-0 shut out of the Canberra Raiders while the Dragons let in 60 points on ANZAC Day against the Roosters.

It’s hard to make a case for the Dragons in this one. Not only are the Sharks firing on all cylinders at the moment but Nicho Hynes has returned to the form that saw him win a Dally M. Could we see him win another in 2024?

The Sharks have won seven straight games over the Dragons and it’s more than likely going to be a ninth here.

Moses Suli is out with concussion this week so Zac Lomax will slide back into the centres meanwhile it’s an unchanged 13 for Cronulla this week.

Toby Rudolf returns off the bench this week but that is the only change for Cronulla in what should be a pretty straight forward game for them here.
