My Prediction
Canterbury Bulldogs by 2There's no mincing words here, the Cronulla Sharks and Canterbury Bulldogs are poised for a clash that promises less subtlety than a neon sign at a stargazing convention. And speaking of stargazing, if you glance back at the last five meetups between these two teams, you might notice a distinct blue, black, and white streak. That's right, the Sharks took home the W four out of five times. But don't pack up and head to the pub just yet!
The Bulldogs are showing a promising three-game winning streak for the start of the season, definitely not a feat to be dismissed like your drunken uncle's ramblings on quantum physics. Of course, the Sharks have been biting back this season, too – they’ve won two out of three matchups. The Bulldogs sit at a cozy third spot in the standings, while the Sharks are just within the top ten, lounging at the ninth position, like they’re trying to relive their college days.
Admittedly, recent history hasn’t exactly been the Bulldogs' best friend. If you recall, last time they faced the Sharks in June 2024, it was a tighter squeeze than a hipster’s jeans, with the Bulldogs narrowly edging over the Sharks, 15-14. And previous to that, well, let's just say the Bulldogs were left with some bite marks.
When it comes to the prediction, well, you'll need to remember who we're dealing with here. The Sharks may have the past success backing them up, but the Bulldogs aren’t here to roll over and play fetch. They've started the season snarling and have shown they can hold their own.
