Sharks vs Warriors odds, betting and tips

Cronulla Sharks – $1.38 at Bet365
New Zealand Warriors – $3.10

Saturday’s clash at Shark Park could have a significant impact on the makeup of the 2019 NRL finals.

The Cronulla Sharks hold eighth spot after last week’s win over St George Illawarra, but there are several teams below them that can still reach the playoffs.

Among those are the New Zealand Warriors, although a 42-6 defeat to Sydney has left them with a lot of work to do in the last three rounds of the regular season.

Having come from behind to beat the Sharks by a point when these two met last month, Warriors boss Stephen Kearney will be hoping to engineer another clutch win this weekend.
