Cronulla Sharks take on Canberra Raiders at Sharks Stadium this Saturday, 15th August at 3:00 PM AEST. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet.
Corey Horsburgh was made the unlucky scapegoat in Canberra’s season-ending loss to Newcastle last week but the Raiders issues run deeper than that.
After a slow start, Ricky Stuart’s men played themselves back into finals contention courtesy of a full strength forward rotation only to then lose three backrowers in consecutive weeks. Stretched thin through the middle to leave inexperienced edges isolated and under pressure on both sides of the ball, it’s been difficult for Canberra to play to their ceiling consistently this year.
In contrast (barring last week), Cronulla have been a model of consistency in NRL season 2026.
Providing they respond to last week’s hiccup, I like the Sharks to resume their run into September here. They’ve done an excellent job of isolating Ronaldo Mulitalo onto smaller defending outside backs in recent weeks and I’m looking for more of the same in this one.
Prediction: Cronulla Sharks 13+ @ $2.15
Anytime Tryscorer: Ronaldo Mulitalo @ $1.62
