After almost causing a boilover against the Bulldogs, the Jersey Flegg Sharks will face another top-four opponent in the Knights at McDonald Jones Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Cronulla led Canterbury 14-0 before being overrun by the ladder-leading team in the second half. They valiantly rallied again with two late tries, but missed conversions meant they had to settle for a gutsy 24-22 defeat at PointsBet Stadium.
Having shown they can compete with the top sides, the under-21 Sharks (10th) will head up the M1 hopeful of claiming an upset win over fourth-placed Newcastle.
Kick-off is scheduled for 1.15pm, with a NSW Cup fixture between Cronulla's feeder club Newtown and the Knights then getting underway at 3pm.
