Penrith Panthers vs Cronulla Sharks Preview
The Panthers and the Sharks meet at complete opposite ends of the spectrum and the ladder this week.
Penrith has an outstanding opportunity to keep its unbeaten record intact as they set their sights on a Sharks outfit that has now lost four in a row.
The chances of Cronulla pulling off an upset on the road appear slim, but new head coach Josh Hannay will be asking for some improvement from his side following last week’s 40-14 loss to the Storm.
Unfortunately, the Panthers have had no trouble racking up the points against the Sharks in recent years.
Penrith has won three straight over Cronulla dating back to 2019, with the Panthers combining to outscore the Sharks 94-36 in their last two meetings.
It’s also worth noting the last five games between these two clubs have gone Over the Total, so if you’re looking for some value, it’s worth backing the double.
