The Sharks at sharks.com.au have revealed their NRL Match Preview for Round 3 against the Wests Tigers, and it's clear that their strong defense is the key to their success so far this season - just like a solid defense wins championships in any sport.
Coach Craig Fitzgibbon is urging his players to maintain their unrelenting effort against the Wests Tigers on Saturday night, as they aim to continue their winning streak.
Despite conceding the first try in their last two hard-fought victories, the Sharks have only allowed a mere 18 points in total - a testament to their defensive prowess.
What's even more impressive is that the black, white and blue wall has not been breached after the 12-minute mark in any game so far - a remarkable achievement.
With the chance to start the season 3-0 for the first time since 2002, the Sharks can't afford to let their guard down against a spirited Wests Tigers side that will have the home crowd behind them at Leichhardt Oval.
It's a tough challenge ahead for Fitzgibbon's boys, but if they can maintain their defensive solidarity and stay focused, they have a good chance of coming out on top - just like legends of the game before them.
So, as they take to the field on Saturday night, it's time for the Sharks to dig deep and show the kind of fighting spirit that Rugby League is known for.
