Expert Betting Tips
Cronulla Sharks have the better chance of winning. The New Zealand Warriors have not shown character in recent matches with consecutive defeats. However, looking at the way the past meetings of the two sides have ended, this could be a tight encounter. Yet, I believe that Cronulla Sharks have the better team and have been very decent this season. Therefore, I am backing them to win with a good point.
