The South Sydney Rabbitohs will take on the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in Round 21 of the NRL season at Polytec Stadium in Gosford, as the visitors look to strengthen their spot in the Top 8.
The Rabbitohs have experienced a dramatic slide in form in recent weeks. After a strong start with four wins from their first five matches, they’ve managed just two victories in their last 13 outings. That poor run has seen them tumble to 15th on the ladder, with only the Eels and the Titans faring worse this season.
The Sharks have endured a mixed campaign, collecting 10 wins but also suffering eight defeats, highlighting their ongoing inconsistency. Currently sitting just outside eighth on the ladder, the Sharks are on a two-game winning run and will be hoping that they can convert it to three wins to keep their spot in the Top 8.
