Parramatta Eels take on Cronulla Sharks at CommBank Stadium this Sunday, 30th August at 4:05 PM AEST. Here’s everything you need to know before you bet.
Cronulla’s slingshot attack looked slick early last week as Nicho Hynes and Will Kennedy took their cues and executed on either edge. Once fatigue set in and the Titans applied some pressure though, the unfamiliarity in a new-look spine was felt.
It’s for this reason that Parramatta profile nicely here; they’ve made a habit of dragging their opposition into a dogfight and bringing out the worst of them in the back end of the regular season.
They’ve got a host of mobile, hungry defensive middles who can make things ugly for this big Sharks pack, but I’m happy to give Cronulla another shot on the back of Hynes’ role in their comeback win last week. He excelled in a primary playmaker role to execute on clutch ballplaying involvements on either edge – not typically where we’ve seen Hynes do his best work in the past.
Prediction: Cronulla Sharks (-6.5)
Anytime Tryscorer: KL Iro, Will Kennedy
