NRL Tips – Cronulla v Wests Tigers – Round 19 2024

Best Bet

Cronulla -7.5

Line

It is never good for a team to lose their starting halfback, particularly a player as good as Nicho Hynes. He has, after all, won a Dally M Medal.

Having Hynes out of the team for the next few weeks may be a positive for the Sharks though. Their form has reflected his dip in confidence. This is an opportunity to steady the ship.

This is a great spot for Cronulla to play themselves back into form and they will not take the Tigers easy after being embarrassed by them earlier in the season.

Cronulla have won 10 of the last 12 against the Tigers including the last four at Shark Park.

They are 12-5 ATS against bottom four teams and they are 28-20 ATS when favoured by at least a try.

Bottom four teams off a loss cover at just 42% while the Tigers have covered just four of 13 in Sydney.

Happy to show some faith in the Sharks here.
