The Sharks have their sights set on fortifying their position in the top eight as they prepare to host the Titans in the opening game of Friday night. Cronulla faced a perilous situation after enduring three consecutive defeats, but they rebounded with vigor last week, securing a convincing 26-16 victory over the Rabbitohs in Perth.

Under the guidance of Craig Fitzgibbon, the team surged ahead to establish a commanding 26-0 lead and managed to weather a shaky finish, as the Rabbitohs retaliated with 16 unanswered points. Fitzgibbon is eager for his squad to maintain their momentum if they find themselves in a similar advantageous position during this encounter. Notably, the Sharks now trail the fourth-placed Storm by merely two points. As the season progresses, the points differential could prove pivotal in determining the top four and top eight placements, underscoring the significance of every point earned.

Meanwhile, the Titans faced another narrow contest last week, succumbing 28-18 to the Warriors on home turf. This defeat significantly diminishes the Titans' prospects for clinching a spot in the finals, as their recent record stands at five losses in their last six games. Compounding their challenges, the Gold Coast team has struggled on away grounds, having secured only two victories out of nine such games this season. Additionally, their encounters against the Sharks in recent times have presented difficulties, adding to the Titans' uphill battle in this forthcoming match.
