My Prediction
Cronulla Sharks by 3Oh, strap on your rugby cleats, get your popcorn or whatever Aussies snack on during sport events, maybe Vegemite on toast? We're talking Manly Sea Eagles and Cronulla Sharks here.
Remember round 10 of 2025, dial it back in the memory folks. The Sharks had a bite but the Eagles were soaring just a tad bit higher, making the contest gripping...like a python on a kangaroo. Manly Sea Eagles have been consistent, not always winning, but consistently showing up.
Past games between these nosy neighbors have been as unpredictable as a game of knifey spoony...always teetering, always entertaining. They've been painting rugby history in different hues for years now. And let's face it, no one can forget the Sharks whopping 40-20 tale in September 2024.
Looking at the win-loss ledger, the Sharks seem to have dunked their opponents more often in the recent past. Riding the winning wave with a 5-4 record in contrast to the Sea Eagles maintaining an even keel with a 4-4.
Now, look closely, but not too close. The Sharks have been feisty, baring their teeth a bit more in recent contests. The Sea Eagles, meanwhile, might have flapped their wings right, but it looks like they've been swooping low, my friends.
Where the rubber hits the road, the Sharks rank slightly ahead in the NRL Premiership 2025 at #6, with the Sea Eagles keeping their gazed locked in from the very close #7 spot.
Considering all these pointers, I'm slightly swayed towards one side of the field. So here’s my alteration to Nostradamus’ quatrains for this game:
