The Knights beat the Sharks 32-6 in round 26 last season that put them into a finals spot and they will be hoping that it will be a case of deja vu this time in round 24 with Newcastle needing to string together a few wins to make the eight.
The Sharks have looked like they have improved on their mid-season slump, however the draw has been kind to them and the Knights will prove to be a harder challenge than those teams that they have beaten recently.
The Knights attack looked impressive last week and they will challenge the Sharks by scoring over their team total of 18.5 points and Fletcher Sharpe will continue to be a target for the Knights playmakers on the right wing.
- Cronulla have lost 2 of their past 4 games at PointsBet Stadium.
- Cronulla have averaged 21 points against in their past 4 games at PointsBet Stadium.

Cronulla did the business on the Gold Coast last weekend, shutting out the Titans 44-0 with the defence the highlight as their attack took its opportunities.
The Coast had 45 tackles inside the Sharks 20m and failed to score despite the Titans forcing 4 drop outs. The Cronulla defence was at its best and although the Gold Coast’s creativity lacks it is still an impressive feat to withstand.
The sharks gave up 30 in their loss against the Cowboys and will obviously disappointed with that, however, they have given up just 12 total points in their past 3 victories.

The Knights kept their season alive last week with a 34-18 victory over Wooden Spooners the Wests Tigers, breaking a three game losing streak that almost had them ruled out of footy in September.
Not that it is much to boast about but it was important that the Knights got their attack going, even it was against the Tigers who bleed points. Newcastle had scored an average of just 12.5 points per game in their 4 matches prior to meeting Wests and they certainly welcomed a couple of lucky bounces that saw them score 30+ points for just the third time this season.
