The 2025 NRL season's Round 19 clash sees the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks face off against the Dolphins on Friday night at the Sharks Stadium in Sydney.

Both the Sharks and the Dolphins are well-rested, returning from a bye week in Round 18. The two teams are making a run to secure a finals spot.

The Sharks are 10th on the ladder with an 8-8 record. After a brutal 30-6 defeat to the Storm, they have now lost back-to-back games. However, on the positive side, their next match is at home, where they have been a tough outfit to beat.

Meanwhile, the Dolphins are back on the field, taking confidence from their dominant 50-28 victory over the Rabbitohs in Round 17. They are on seventh spot on the ladder with an 8-8 record and will hope to continue their winning momentum to remain in finals contention.

The Sporting News is on hand to bring you all the latest TV, scheduling, and live streaming information ahead of this match.
