The Sharks' SG Ball, Lisa Fiaola, and Tarsha Gale NSWRL Junior Representative teams are gearing up for finals matches this weekend at Leichhardt Oval.
The SG Ball and Tarsha Gale teams, finishing sixth and eighth respectively, face crucial matchups against the Bulldogs and Eels in a do-or-die scenario.
The Lisa Fiaola Sharks, coming in fourth, will challenge the undefeated minor premiers Canterbury for a spot in the preliminary final.
The Junior Reps finals system mirrors that of the NRL, with a 1st Qualifying Final, 1st Elimination Final, 2nd Elimination Final, and 2nd Qualifying Final.
"The quest for premierships is heating up with finals fixtures confirmed for Cronulla's SG Ball, Lisa Fiaola, and Tarsha Gale NSWRL Junior Representative teams at Leichhardt Oval this weekend."
"It's do or die for the SG Ball (Saturday) and Tarsha Gale (Sunday) teams in clashes against the Bulldogs and Eels after finishing sixth and eighth respectively."
"The Lisa Fiaola Sharks, having secured fourth place at the conclusion of the regular season, will tackle undefeated minor premiers Canterbury on Saturday for a spot in the preliminary final.
They have a second chance up their sleeve."
"Using the same formula as the NRL, the Junior Reps finals system is as follows: 1st Qualifying Final - 1st vs 4th, 1st Elimination Final - 5th vs 8th, 2nd Elimination Final - 6th vs 7th, 2nd Qualifying Final - 2nd vs 3rd."
