The 2025 NRL season's Round 16 clash sees the Brisbane Broncos face off against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane this Sunday.

The Broncos are back after a bye week, before which they had a dominant 44-14 win over the Titans. Forwards Pat Carrigan and Payne Haas have been named in the lineup and are set to play, four days after Game 2 of the State of Origin on Wednesday night.

With nine wins in the last 12 meetings against the Sharks, the Broncos will look to overtake fellow finals contender on the points ladder this week.

On the other hand, the Sharks are on fifth place on the ladder and have won their last three games at the Suncorp Stadium.

They returned to form with a 30-18 win over the Dragons, after losing their previous two games to the Warriors and the Roosters. Winger Sione Katoa starred in the win over local rivals Dragons by scoring a double.
