The Jersey Flegg Sharks are in control of their finals fate ahead of Saturday's last-round clash with the Warriors at PointsBet Stadium.
Cronulla surged into fifth place with a thumping 54-10 victory over the Dragons on the weekend, leapfrogging Manly after their 23-22 loss to Wests Tigers.
The equation is simple for Andrew Dallalana's team: win and they're into the playoffs. Defeat would leave them relying on the Sea Eagles, Eels and Tigers – all one competition point behind Cronulla – losing their respective games.
While on paper the Sharks appear poised to continue their six-match winning streak, the 11th-placed Warriors knocked off the high-flying Dogs last round.
The match will be played as a curtain-raiser to an NRL fixture between the same clubs. Kick-off is scheduled for 5.20pm. See the team lists below.
