Summary: The Jets appear to be striking form at the right time of the year following a run of four straight victories while the Sharks continue to chisel out results and their nail biting draw against the Tigers coupled with the Vulcans loss sees them assume second place on the ladder. The fans that make the effort to head out to Henson Park look set to be treated to another fantastic spectacle following a similar affair last Saturday, with two fellow top four sides jousting for a home final here. The Sharks welcome back Scott Porter and Beau Champion for this all important clash while the Jets have swapped Brett Lane and Francis Vaiotu around and also bring Scott Jones back into the fold for this one. With the proposition of these two sides meeting once again in the finals, this fixture presents the winner with a great psychological edge heading towards September.
Talking Point: The Jets are taking off – While not always being renowned for their high octance offence, the Jets have turned into real entertainers of late, scoring 132 points in their last four outings. The Sharks also have the ability to rack up a score so given decent conditions at Henson this Saturday we may be in for another entertaining affair.
Prediction: Very hard to tip against the Jets at home and their confidence should be sky high after last weekend's win. Jets by 7.
