Parramatta Eels vs Cronulla Sharks Preview

Cronulla steadied its campaign by overturning a halftime deficit to defeat Gold Coast 30-22, while Parramatta was beaten 34-16 by the Dolphins. The Sharks still have significant finals incentive and bring a settled core built around Nicho Hynes, Blayke Brailey and Cameron McInnes. Parramatta retains Mitchell Moses alongside Ronald Volkman, with Dylan Walker joining a bench that will need to lift the tempo through the middle. The Eels have enough speed through Josh Addo-Carr and Brian Kelly to challenge Cronulla’s edge defence, particularly if their forwards win early field position. However, the Sharks’ combination of Addin Fonua-Blake’s power and the finishing of Sione Katoa and Ronaldo Mulitalo gives them more dependable attacking routes. Cronulla should handle the pressure better and close the round with a valuable away win.
