Sharks vs Souths NRL Round 20 betting tips

Cronulla Sharks$2 at Sportsbet
South Sydney Rabbitohs – $1.80

Second plays 10th on Saturday night as the Cronulla Sharks and the South Sydney Rabbitohs lock fangs at PointsBet Stadium.

Cronulla have endured a rotten couple of months, but last week’s clutch win over North Queensland leaves them only a point outside the top eight.

With Brisbane and Newcastle both facing tough assignments this weekend, a victory over the Bunnies would launch the Sharks back into the finals frame.

Souths have had a streaky season, to say the least, yet they are a game clear in second place and cruising towards a top-four finish.

After surviving a late scare from St George Illawarra last week, Bunnies boss Wayne Bennett will want to see an 80-minute display as his charges aim for a fourth consecutive win.

Sharks vs Rabbitohs tryscorer betting tips

Dane Gagai – This man has gone on a tryscoring tear since shifting from the centres to the wing a few weeks back. Gagai scored the first against the Dragons and went on to bag a brace, so it is with good reason he is Sportsbet’s $8.50 favourite for the opener.

Josh Dugan – Cronulla’s fix-it man in the back half has notched nine tries this season, including five in as many games when starting on the wing. Given those numbers, Dugan’s $3.30 anytime tryscorer odds at Sportsbet look like serious value for money.
