When: Sunday August 18, 4:40pm
Where: Marvel Stadium

Preview:
The final match of round 22 is the biggest mismatch in the odds, with the Suns visiting the Hawks at Marvel Stadium. Gold Coast is on a 16-game losing streak and are priced as $11 outsiders. This is the first time these two teams play at Marvel Stadium.
The Hawks are a slim chance of playing finals, but a big win against the Suns and losses for the Power, Crows and Bulldogs could have them in the eight on Sunday night.
Despite their futility, the Suns are 3-0 against the spread at Marvel Stadium this season and 9-11 overall. It’s the opposite story for the Hawks, who are 0-3 straight up and 0-3 against the spread. The Wolf doesn’t think those trends will hold in this match though, with Gold Coast simply unbackable on the back of 16 straight defeats.
