Cronulla Sharks Vs Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs
Toyota Stadium, Saturday, April 2
Kick-off: 3.00pm
Referee: Luke Phillips
Broadcast: NSWRL Match of the Round to be aired on Fox Sports 2 HD and Fox Sports 2, Wednesday, April 6, 4.30pm

Summary: Cronulla are coming off an impressive win against a resurgent Vulcans side in Auckland last weekend while, the Bulldogs defeated Manly 48-30 in a game where tackling looked to have been optional. Coach Justin Holbrook will need an improved defensive effort from his chargers if they are to come home with two points against this ever improving Cronulla outfit.

Sione Kite takes Adam Woolnough's starting spot in the front-row with Woolnough making his return to the NRL with the Storm against the Bulldogs on Monday night. For the Bulldogs, Heka Nanai returns and takes his place on an experienced bench with Harlan Alaalatoa and Brad Morrin.

Chris Armit is travelling with the Bulldogs side to Melbourne as an 18th man and his starting front-row spot has been taken by Martin Tapau. Cronulla are sweating on hooker Stuart Flanagan who injured a quad in last weekend's match against the Vulcans and is an outside chance to play.

Game Breaker: Rhys Jack – Has been more than handy for Coach Justin Holbrook in the early part of 2011. He covered amply for the injured Josh Reynolds at halfback until the inclusion of Kiwi International Ben Roberts forced him back into the hooking role.

Prediction: Last weekend should have wake up call for the Bulldogs. The Sharks will run riot if the Dogs bring a repeat defensive performance but class should shine through here. The Dogs in a thriller.

Sharks in top form to face undefeated Bulldogs

Cronulla will be bolstered by the presence of five Storm players for Saturday’s NSW Cup clash with Canterbury-Bankstown at Shark Park.

Tu’u Maori, Sisa Waqa, Maurice Blair, Sione Kite and Atelea Vea will all take the field for the Sharks as they attempt to extend their winning streak to three games.

The game is set to be a cracker, with 2010 premiers the Bulldogs topping the ladder and undefeated after three games, while the Sharks will be buoyed by last week’s stunning win over the Vulcans in Auckland.

The Sharks will have to bring their best form to the game, with nine Canterbury NRL players in the Bulldogs’ side.

Cronulla will have to back their pace down the outside, with in-form Canterbury listed winger Michael Lett having scored six tries in the first three matches, including a hat trick against the Bears in Round Two.

The Storm boys will be eager to score, with Maori the only Melbourne player to cross the line for the Sharks this season.

While the speed of players such as centre Maori and winger Waqa has been highlighted as the key to the Sharks’ fortunes, it may well be the forwards who are the difference this week.

The presence of Kite and Vea in the Sharks’ line-up will be of great importance in repelling the attacks of the Bulldogs, who have scored a combined 106 points over the three games.

The game against the Bulldogs kicks off at 3.00pm this Saturday at Shark Park.
