NRL Round 15 Preview - Sharks v Broncos @ Shark Park

Cronulla Sharks v Brisbane Broncos @ Shark Park
 
Preview- The Sharks will be gunning for an 8th win from their last 9 starts when they tackle the 8th placed Broncos at Shark Park on Saturday night. The Sharks came from 8 points down at halftime to beat the Tigers 24-16 last week, with Paul Gallen putting in a sterling performance, as the Sharks scored 3 tries in 10 minutes early in the second half. The Broncos lost to their arch nemesis once again, as the Storm destroyed them in the second half 32-16 to win their 12th from their last 13 starts against the Broncos. 
 
Cronulla Sharks’ Scouting Report - Shane Flanagan has named an unchanged side from the one that came from behind to beat the Tigers. Valentine Holmes has been in blistering form of late, scoring another 90-metre try against the Tigers last week, as he continues his recent try-scoring exploits. 
 
Brisbane Broncos’ Scouting Report - The Broncos get back one of their strike players, with James Roberts returning after missing the Storm game. Tom Opacic is replaced by Roberts, with the rest of the Broncos 17 unchanged from the Melbourne loss.
 
Verdict - Sharks by 1-6 in a low scoring game

I don’t really know what to make of the Broncos this season. Most of their victories have been by narrow margins, and they have struggled on the road. The Sharks haven't exactly been convincing either, however in the Shire on a Saturday night they will be hard to beat. I expect this game to be typically low scoring, and decided in the final 10 minutes, but will go for the home side who are in a better vein of form.
