It's a Saturday night showdown to savour in the Shire as in-form Cronulla tackle the unbeaten Bulldogs at Sharks Stadium.
A full house cheered Cronulla to a convincing win over the Rabbitohs last week and another huge crowd is expected to flood through the gates in Round 4.
The Sharks and Bulldogs will also meet in an under-21 Jersey Flegg Cup clash – a 2024 grand final rematch – in a curtain-raiser for the much-anticipated main event. There will be entertainment galore including DJ Jonny in the Sharks Live zone, a five-star Minespec Mermaids performance and the Aramex Special Delivery.
Read on for everything you need to know about game day.
