Last time they met

The last time these two teams met the Cronulla Sharks away from home throttled the Wests Tigers 25-8, previously, the Cronulla Sharks have dominated the Wests Tigers winning seven games out of the last 10 they have played, this game will take place at Bankwest Stadium which makes it pretty neutral, although the Sharkies have won the last seven encounters we believe the Wests Tigers have a bit more reggae this season, we are backing attack opposed to defence for this game.
