NRL Tips – Dragons v Sharks

The Southern Sydney Derby is always a highly anticipated affair but with Cronulla flying high it would not shock to see the Sharks run away with a big victory.

Sharks -15.5

Typically big home underdogs are an autobet with home underdogs of 12.5 or more covering at 67% the last four seasons. That number falls to 36% though when that match is played in the afternoon – putting Cronulla in the A1 spot to win this and win it big.

Cronulla have certainly had the best of this matchup of late with 11 wins in the last 12 games including a 34-12 win in Round 14. The Sharks have won five of the last six at Kogarah and it is not a ground the Dragons have played well at of late, covering just four of 12.

The Sharks are 16-8 ATS against bottom five opposition while they are 22-13 ATS in day games and 31-23 ATS when favoured by at least a try.

Cronulla is the side to be with in this one.
