CRONULLA is the latest club to introduce an initiative which will boost the club's sagging crowd figures.
All kids under 16 years old who wear a Sharks or Souths jumper to Saturday night's match at Toyota Stadium will gain free entry.
The match will give Cronulla a chance to further press claims for a top-two finish but a loss could jeopardise their top-four aspirations.
"We are only too happy to reward the young fans showing off their club jerseys with free admission this weekend," Sharks CEO Tony Zappia said.
"Plus, if they come along on Saturday wearing a Sharks or Souths jersey, it will certainly add to the colour and atmosphere of what should be an excellent game and a big night."
Cronulla have experienced a stellar season, including a gripping 13-12 win over St George Illawarra last Saturday night at Toyota Stadium.
The Sharks have scored the least amount of tries in the entire NRL - yet they keep winning.
Souths showed enormous grit and determination to hold on and narrowly beat the Warriors last Saturday night at Homebush.
