With data gathered from 3 reputable betting sites in Australia across 21 markets, they offer a wide range of betting options. As of now, the bookmakers have designated the Cronulla Sharks as the favourites to emerge victorious, with odds set at 1.27.

Coming off a humbling defeat, the Sharks are eager to regain their winning form as they host the Sea Eagles at PointsBet Stadium on Sunday. Cronulla has earned a reputation as "flat track bullies," excelling with nine victories out of 10 games against teams outside the top eight. However, they have struggled when facing more formidable competition.

Given Manly's current 11th spot standing, the Sharks are optimistic about their chances of bouncing back. Nevertheless, they acknowledge the need for significant improvement following their lackluster performance last week. In response to their recent setback, coach Craig Fitzgibbon has made changes to the lineup, with Matt Moylan being dropped, and Braydon Trindall partnering with Nicho Hynes in the halves. Additionally, Sia Talakai has been relegated to the bench.

On the other side, the Sea Eagles displayed bravery in their recent encounter against the in-form Cowboys, scoring the first try before ultimately losing 19-8. Without the presence of the injured Tom Trbojevic, Manly faces challenges in their quest to secure a spot in the finals. Furthermore, their struggles extend to away games, as they have lost nine out of their last 11 fixtures on the road, dating back to last season.
