The Cronulla Sharks are gearing up for a crucial clash with the Wests Tigers in their pursuit of NRLW glory.
After a strong start to the season with six wins under their belt, the Sharks have hit a rough patch with two consecutive losses.
However, they are still in contention for the minor premiership, sitting in third place on the ladder alongside the Roosters and Broncos.
A victory against the Tigers on Thursday will secure a spot in the top four and boost their momentum going into the sudden-death semi-finals.
The Sharks will need to bring their A-game against a resurgent Tigers side, who secured their first win of the season under the guidance of Brett Kimmorley.
The Tigers showed their defensive prowess in challenging conditions against St George Illawarra last weekend, and they will be looking to carry that form into the matchup at PointsBet Stadium.
The Sharks will need to be on high alert and ready to tackle any challenges thrown their way.
It's shaping up to be a showdown filled with intensity, grit, and determination as both teams vie for victory on the field.
