No JT, no Cowboys?...Will Cronulla wreak revenge on Canberra?Way, way back in the second week of March, Canberra opened its season by humiliating Cronulla 40-12. Since that time both teams have endured lengthy periods of mediocrity, before latterly finding form.
The Sharks finally get a chance to avenge that abominable performance when they host the Raiders this weekend. Cronulla is on a three-game winning streak. Last weekend it played very well against Souths, with Luke Douglas starring. He will have Paul Gallen for company as they take on the Raiders’ monster pack. Canberra was ruthless against the Roosters last Monday, a win that keeps them in contention for the semis. It was highlighted by another eye-catching performance from 19-year-old backrower Josh Papalii who scored a try, broke seven tackles and stung in defence.
This should be an entertaining contest. The loser will find it very hard to secure a September berth, but the winner will gain even greater momentum. We like Cronulla by two.
