Brisbane are favoured and have more points in the predictive modelling. They hold an advantage in the head to head against Cronulla but the Sharks have won 2 of the last 3 at Suncorp which cannot be understated.
These matchups are usually tight which also points to small margins of error or difference. That is why it is important for Brisbane to have Haas and Carrigan in the team to work on those Run Metres.
The Sharks are ranked 7th in Opposition Run Metres giving up 1380m per game, slightly above the league average of 1434m per game. They also have to defend against the fewest Tackles Inside 20m from opponents at just 23.1 per game but scratch a little deeper and you see they leak points. 8th in Points Conceded (21.9 per game) and 17th in Opposition Tryscoring Efficiency - giving up a four pointer for every 7.6 tackles Inside that 20m zone.
If Brisbane can get up the other end they will be able to score points, even with the lacklustre attack they have shown over the past few months of footy. The Broncos goalline defence is strong enough to put pressure on Cronulla and force them into mistakes.
Take the Broncos on the line, Game Total Under which is in line with H2H trends and Jesse Arthars to cross for a 4 pointer.
- 3 of the 4 Sharks losses away from home this season have been 1-12 margins and the Broncos are 3-2 straight up as Home Favourites this season.
- The Game Total has gone Under in 5 straight between these teams.
- Jesse Arthars is 2nd on the Tryscorer rankings this season with 11 tries from 13 games.
- Brisbane have scored the first try in 6 of their last 7 games while Cronulla have allowed the first try in 3 of their last 4.

The Broncos are coming off their second bye of the season and the question will be if it has stunted the little bit of momentum they had gathered or if it was a perfect opportunity to refocus the playing group.
Prior to the break the Broncos had a 44-14 victory over the Titans which snapped a 4 game losing streak where they averaged just 13.5 pts per game. The poor form stretched back even further with Brisbane having now won only 2 of their last 8 games.
Although they are 1st in the league in Linebreaks with 5.9 per game they are 13th in Run Metres (1382) and 10th in Tackles Inside 20m (27.5).
