FREE: Sharks VS Storm Preview: Our Picks

4 years ago - Sportingbase FREE: Sharks VS Storm Preview: Our Picks Image
Round 17 starts with the Sharks taking on a Storm outfit that will be looking to overcome the loss of Munster due to Origin.

CRONULLA SHARKS VS MELBOURNE STORM – THURSDAY JULY 7, 7:50PM, SHARK PARK


Previous Results  (1 unit = $100)

Melbourne are currently in second place but have slipped six points behind leaders Penrith while the Sharks are sitting nicely in fourth spot as they head into a tough month of footy with matches against the Storm, Cowboys, Panthers and Rabbitohs.

Timing is crucial for Cronulla as they get the benefit of taking on Melbourne without superstars Cameron Munster and Harry Grant. The Munster-less Storm were blown over Brookvale Oval by the Sea Eagles last Thursday, trailing 36-12 before a late flurry pegged the fulltime deficit back to a flattering six points.

Past Matchups

After losing six of the previous nine clashes between the clubs, Melbourne is on a five-match winning streak against Cronulla. The Storm carved out a 34-18 victory in a high-quality Round 6 encounter at AAMI Park. The Sharks have won three of the last four encounters at Shark Park, however, and are 4-1 at their home ground this season.


Match Bet

With no Hynes the sharks look vulnerable so we’re having 4 units ($400) on the Storm -6.5.
