Penrith Panthers vs Cronulla Sharks Preview
The competition leaders are in action first-up on Friday and an intriguing match with the Cronulla Sharks looms.
The Panthers have still suffered just the one defeat in 2020 and while they weren’t particularly convincing in Round 14’s win over the Warriors, two points is two points, and it’s onwards and upwards in Round 15.
The Sharks meanwhile have found a nice vein of form of their own, and they are probably unlucky not to have won each of their last five games.
Their last hefty loss interestingly came at the hands of the Panthers in Round 9, and I personally think that adds just a little bit more spice to this game.
It would require a season-best performance to win, but I think there is merit to the Sharks’ case here, and I am happy to take them at an 8.5-point line as outsiders.
