Interesting Betting Insights
- The Cronulla Sutherland Sharks have won nine of their last 10 NRL matches against the St George Illawarra Dragons (L1), including their last seven on the bounce – their longest winning run against them in the history of the competition; the Sharks have scored 40+ points on the day in each of their last two wins in that span.
- The Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks have won their last three NRL matches against the St George Illawarra Dragons at PointsBet Stadium, recording a winning margin of exactly six points on the day in two of those three wins; a fourth consecutive win in this game would be the Sharks’ outright longest winning run against them at the venue in the history of the competition (also W3 from May 2006 to August 2008).
- The Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks have scored 40+ points in each of their last two NRL games; the last and only previous time they scored 40+ points in more than two straight games was a three-game stretch from Round 22 to 24 in 1999.
- The Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks have won five of their last six NRL matches at PointsBet Stadium (L1), including each of their last three; the Sharks have conceded just 9.8 points per game across those six games at the venue.
- The St George Illawarra Dragons have won two of their last four NRL games when playing as the away team on the day including a 24-12 win against the Wests Tigers at Campbelltown Sports Stadium in their last such fixture; they’ve not won back-to-back games from the away sheds since Round 5, 2021.
- The St George Illawarra Dragons have lost three of their last four NRL games immediately after having conceded 50+ points in their previous fixture and only once have they scored 30+ points in such a fixture (def. New Zealand Warriors 54-0 in Round 14, 2000).
- The St George Illawarra Dragons have scored six tries from sets begun within 10 metres of their own try line this NRL season, the second most of any team in the competition behind only the Brisbane Broncos (9).
- Nicholas Hynes (Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks) has scored four tries and made nine try assists across his six career games against the St George Illawarra Dragons in the NRL.
- Thomas Hazelton (Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks) has scored one try in each of his last two NRL games and crossed for one try in his only previous game against the St George Illawarra Dragons (Round 18, 2023).
- Mikaele Ravalawa (St George Illawarra Dragons) has scored five tries across his last six NRL games against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks but has scored just one try across his last seven games overall.
