The Last Time These Two Met On The Gold Coast The Titans Did Not Score A Point. The Sharks Have Lost Two Straight, And I Still Have Them Winning This Comfortably.

Everyone will look at Cronulla’s last fortnight and decide they are there to be beaten. I have looked at what the Titans would actually have to do to beat them, and I cannot make it add up.

Team news, and what it changes

Cronulla’s side is the one that moved. Addin Fonua-Blake is back in the pack after suspension, and Niwhai Puru is named in the halves alongside Nicho Hynes. He played three games at halfback earlier in the season when Nicho Hynes was out with a calf problem, so this is not a rookie thrown in cold, and Nicho Hynes steers it either way. There is nothing on the Gold Coast side that changes my read. The side Cronulla have named is a better one than the side that lost last week.

The Titans cannot score their way into this

Gold Coast are the lowest scoring side of these two by a distance, and that is the whole game. A team that struggles to post points has to win ugly, in the forties, off the back of a mistake riddled opponent. Cronulla are not that opponent. Take away the Titans’ ability to score and both the margin and the total look after themselves.

Two losses have not made Cronulla a worse side

This is the part I have to answer, because it is the first thing you will look at. The Sharks have been beaten twice and it has cost them a top four spot for now, but last week they went down 24-20 to the Raiders after losing Braydon Trindall early to a shoulder injury. Losing a close one a man down is not the same as being found out.

This fixture has been one way traffic

The Titans have won one of the last six meetings and that was at Coffs Harbour, not here. Home ground has not been worth anything to Gold Coast in this matchup, and I am not paying for it now.

The under is the same read, not a second one

The two most recent meetings both blew past fifty points, so I am not going to pretend there is no version of Sunday where Cronulla go on with it. Here is why I am on it anyway. The total only needs one half of the scoreboard to stay quiet, and that is the Gold Coast half. I have got this 33-12, which is Cronulla having a good day and the total still getting home with room to spare. The only thing that beats it is Gold Coast having a night out, and I am not paying for that.

Titans vs Sharks Tip

Sharks to win by around twenty, because Gold Coast do not score enough to stay in touch for eighty minutes.

Player Prop Predictions

William Kennedy to score a try, $2.70. William Kennedy got over last start, and that is a try in four of his last seven. Cronulla piling on twenty points of margin gives him the ball in space, and $2.70 is fair for a bloke finding the line that often.

Phillip Sami to score a try, $1.94. Phillip Sami scores in bunches, with a three and a two sitting inside his last seven games. Gold Coast will be chasing the whole way and chasing sides throw it wide, so he only needs the one to pay at $1.94.

Jayden Campbell to score a try, $3.00. Jayden Campbell crossed last start, his third try scoring game in seven. Gold Coast may not stay in touch, but they will still put a set together somewhere, and $3.00 is a proper price on a bloke who keeps turning up on the end of them.

Sione Katoa to score a try, $1.79. Sione Katoa has hit the market in five of his last seven, and there is a three and a two in that run. A Cronulla win by twenty is exactly the game he cashes in, which is why $1.79 is the steady leg here.
