St George Illawarra won their first game in nearly 300 days when stunning Brisbane as 20.5-point underdogs last Sunday. It was a memorable win for the club – but perhaps the worst thing that could happen for them this week.

The pressure is off the Dragons now and against a Sharks team that has made a habit of beating up on poor teams, they look incredibly vulnerable.

Cronulla have dominated this matchup with 12 wins in the last 14 matches. They have won the last five against the Red V at Shark Park.

Teams playing a bottom two opponent off a win cover at the remarkable clip of 68% – this is a super spot for the Sharks.

Cronulla have covered five of six day games and 23 of 36 at Shark Park.

The Dragons have covered just four of 15 day games and just two of nine against Top 8 opposition.

Cronulla win this and win it by plenty.

Jayden Berrell is set for his first extended run in first grade after a decade playing NSW and Queensland Cup.

He does like to dart out of dummy half and with extended football coming his way he will be looking to showcase his talents.
