Cronulla Sharks vs Sydney Roosters
The last game on Monday for NRL Round 24 is between Cronulla Sharks and Sydney Roosters. The opening bounce is set to commence at 7:00PM with the game to be played at Remondis Stadium. The favourite for the match is away team Sydney Roosters. View our preview and teams for the game between Cronulla Sharks and Sydney Roosters.
The final match of the round sees the Roosters again playing a Monday night fixture but, if they keep producing efforts such as they did last Monday, there’ll be no complaining from club or fans.
They took another step toward the Minor Premiership last week with a comprehensive thrashing of a lacklustre West Tigers side and in the process, registered their seventh straight win.
The impressive feature of their game during this winning sequence has been their defence.
They’ve held two teams scoreless a further three to twelve points or less and only Canberra has been able to score in excess of 20 points since New Zealand did so in their win over the Roosters back in round 14!
The Sharks have been in the headlines this week for all the wrong reasons.
Speculation of salary cap breaches and secret accounts have surrounded the club and as they head into this game, desperate to maintain their sixth spot on the ladder, it was a distraction they could well do without.
When they last met, only as recently as round 19, Sydney thumped Cronulla 40 – 0.
Would expect that their defence would be too strong again and that they’ll be too polished for the Sharks.
