Every match in the NRL is rated as important however Saturday night against the Tigers takes on some extra significance as the Sharks look to rebound from a disappointing last start home defeat against the Gold Coast.
The Sharks square off against a Wests Tigers team that put aside off-field distractions to score an 18-12 win over the Bulldogs, a win which is sure to give them plenty of confidence ahead of the match on Saturday night.
While the Sharks have been disappointing at home in 2017, their away record reads at a perfect four from four and no doubt they will be keen to continue the roll at Leichhardt Oval this weekend.
Sharks coach Shane Flanagan names his 21-man squad, Liam and Rob discuss the Gold Coast loss, preview the Tigers game and reveal the Sharks outfit in ‘Team List Tuesday’ for round 9.
