The Cronulla Sharks are gearing up for their first-ever NRLW playoff against the Broncos at Totally Workwear Stadium on Sunday, in what promises to be a clash of titans in the world of women's rugby league.
After a rollercoaster season, the Sharks have punched their ticket to the top four, setting the stage for a showdown with Brisbane.
The Broncos are the final obstacle standing in their way of a shot at the grand final glory.
In just their second year in the competition, Cronulla are hungry to etch their names in the history books.
Their journey to the finals was nothing short of a nail-biter.
A tough loss to the Wests Tigers had the Sharks sweating bullets, as they relied on other results to secure their spot in the top four.
Luckily, luck was on their side.
Now, they face their toughest test yet - a showdown with the minor premiers on their home turf.
It's going to be a physical and grueling battle, as both teams come into the match riding high on lengthy winning streaks.
The Sharks embarked on a scorching six-game winning streak to kick off the season, while the Broncos clawed their way back from a slow start to finish strong with seven straight victories, establishing themselves as the team to beat.
Just two weeks ago, these two powerhouses locked horns in Queensland, where the Broncos narrowly pipped the Sharks with a buzzer-beating 20-16 win.
Cronulla is now eyeing redemption, despite the added challenge of facing off against the Broncos in their own backyard.
It's sure to be a clash of epic proportions in the women's rugby league arena.
