Best Bet
Cronulla had the Sydney Roosters on toast in Perth prior to their bye before a capitulation saw them not only lose but go down by 14.
Few teams bounce back as well as the Sharks though and Cronulla have no team they enjoy facing more than North Queensland.
Cronulla are 21-13 against the spread off a loss. They are 24-18 ATS off conceding at least 20 points.
The Sharks have absolutely owned the Cowboys, winning 14 of the last 16 clashes. They have covered 16 of the last 19 against the Cowboys. They have won five of the last six at Queensland Country Bank Stadium. The Sharks have scored 30-plus in seven of the last eight.
Cronulla are a chips-in job.
Same Game Multi
Mawene Hiroti is a highly underrated tryscorer with eight four-pointers in 12 tries.
Sam Stonestreet is a quality tryscorer who has 18 tries in 22 games.
Teig Wilton has returned from injury in excellent form with two tries in his last three games.
Value Bet
A case can be made that Jesse Colquhoun is the most improved player in the NRL this year, locking down the 13 jumper and getting big minutes with his heavy workrate and impact with the ball. He has just three first grade tries but two have come in the last three games. The Cowboys rank third in try percentage conceded through the middle.
