Cronulla v Canterbury NRL match preview

Friday night football for round two of the NRL Premiership kicks off in Cronulla with the Sharks hosting the Canterbury Bulldogs at PointsBet Stadium.

The Bulldogs suffered a tough loss to the Eels last week in Parramatta, while the Sharks secured an unlikely win against the Warriors in Auckland. Will the Bulldogs be able to record their first win of the season? Or will the Sharks go 2-0?

Bulldogs coach Cameron Ciraldo has named Connor Tracey to start on the wing in place of Josh Addo-Carr (shoulder), who has been named in the reserves and could be a late inclusion to the starting side. No other changes have been made to the starting 17.

Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has named an unchanged line-up following his side’s win in round one.

Sharks v Bulldogs NRL betting strategy

The Cronulla Sharks have won each of their last five matches against the Bulldogs, with four of those five wins being by 13 or more points. The Bulldogs have also lost seven of their last eight games in the NRL. Should the Sharks produce another performance with a high set-completion rate and few missed tackles, they will be more than capable of securing another win at the big margin (+135).

The Sharks left-edge attack performed brilliantly against the Warriors, with Ronaldo Mulitalo and Siosifa Talakai scoring a try each. On two separate occasions in 2023 both players scored before the Sharks ultimately won, while at least one of the pair scored in 11 of their 14 wins in 2023. Expect both Mulitalo (-108.7) and Talakai (+250) to score a try in their first home game of the 2024 NRL season.
