NRL Rugby - Cronulla Sharks v Sydney Roosters

3rd vs 4th here but neither side has been setting the world on fire in recent weeks have they?

The Roosters sit in4th but have won only 2 of their last 5 games and all up in their last 5 games even when they have won they have looked average,they have scored 108 points in their last 5 games but have conceeded 114, and in their most recent 3 games against the Cowboys,Eels and Storm have allowed 20 or more and have lost their last 2!! That being said the Roosters have a great record against the Sharks and will fancy themselves against the Sharkies who have lost a few of their own in recent weeks,The Roosters also get a few good players back this weekend also in Fitzy,Sa and Myles but will be without Hooker Ausbusson but all in all a pretty good looking Roosters side.

The Sharks are unchanged but they have'nt been looking like a Top 4 performer either in recent times,The Sharks have won 3 of their last 5 but have only scored more than 19 points once and that was their last home game against the Bunnies when they scored 28 in a 28-14 win.But the Sharks don't allow much,in their last 5 games against so0e good sides in the Warriors,Bunnies,Broncos,Dragons and Knights they have not allowed more than 18 points either. As we all know out there the Sharks struggle to score and are either winners or losers there is no in between with them,the Sharks were beaten last week over here by the Warriors and once again they pout themselves in poition to score and could'nt take advantage of them,the conditions did'nt help either but the Warriors scored points though did'nt they? Like I said the and you fellas know the Sharks struggle to score points...But you can't discount them from getting that 1 try that their defence will hold them in their games and get a win and with both sides looky shaky i am more inclined to side with the Home side who are unchanged.

Recent results and the Roosters have won the last 5 against the Sharks at any venue the Sharks won 3 jome games ago 16-12.

The Roosters scare me a bit here but I like the Sharks,last week against a pretty decent Warriors attack and defence and were still in the game right up to the last 10 and they had little good ball and the Warriors had alot of ball,I thought their effort was pretty good and maybe in better conditions they may of been able to get something out of that game,If i'm being really honest about the Roosters I still find them hard to like,theie rock hard defence has wilted a bit in recent weeks and even if they fire up against the Sharks the Sharks can fire up pretty well themselves in a hard game which i think this will be.

I reckon this game will be close and once again the real outcome of this match will be decided by the Sharks whether they win or lose,I reckon they'll win...Take the Sharks in a close one...Good Luck.
