NRL Round 24 Preview - Sharks v Knights @ Shark Park

Cronulla Sharks v Newcastle Knights @ Shark Park
 
Preview - The Sharks Top 4 hopes are alive as they host the Knights at Shark Park on Sunday afternoon. The Sharks are looking for a 3rd straight victory after they beat the Cowboys 28-16 at home to remain in 5th spot, but on the heels of the Dragons, who are in 4th spot. The Knights produced one of their best wins of the season as they stunned the Panthers 20-12 at Pepper Stadium to grab their 9th win of the season. 
 
Cronulla Sharks’ Scouting Report - The Sharks welcome back one of their big guns with Wade Graham named to return in the second row. Strike centre Jesse Ramien is out injured, with Josh Dugan shitfing to centre, and Edrick Lee coming  on to the wing. Jayden Brailey returns at starting hooker with James Segeyaro dropping back to the bench. 
 
Newcastle Knights’ Scouting Report - Veteran Chris Heighington comes back on the bench in place of Luke Yates. Connor Watson could make a comeback from injury after being named on the extended bench. 
 
Verdict - Sharks 13+ 

The Sharks look like a side hitting form and full fitness at the right time, and I expect them to have too much for the Knights, particularly in front of a big home crowd. The Sharks have completely dominated Newcastle in recent years and I expect that to continue on Sunday.
