The Wests Tigers and the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at Sydney's Leichhardt Oval in Round 8 of the 2025 NRL season on Sunday.
The Wests Tigers have had a pretty disappointing season so far after having started with two wins in their first three clashes of the campaign. Since then, they have only managed one win in their last four games and are stuck all the way down in 12th on the ladder.
The Sharks have had a slightly better campaign compared to the Wests Tigers despite having taken three loss in their opening five clashes. However, they are now on a two-game winning streak and will hope that they will be able to grab a third win on the trot as they look to break into the top four on the ladder.
