Cowboys: Key Updates for Fitzy and Bitungane's Debut
Cronulla Sharks aim to restore their offensive prowess as they face the Cowboys this Sunday at Sharks Stadium.
Fresh off a gritty win against the Rabbitohs, head coach Craig Fitzgibbon's team recognizes the need for improvement in ball-handling and attacking execution.
This match offers an opportunity for the Sharks to elevate their performance while vying for vital competition points in a tight race for a top-eight finish.
Currently, Cronulla holds the seventh position on the ladder, only two points ahead of the ninth-placed Sea Eagles with six rounds remaining in the season.
On the other side, the Cowboys made a strong comeback last week, securing a thrilling 38-32 victory over the Dragons in a game that showcased a total of 13 tries.
Halfback Tom Dearden is riding a wave of confidence after leading Queensland to an impressive State of Origin victory, and he aims to sustain the team's attacking momentum during Sunday's match.
