After resting up last weekend due to qualifying final victories in week one, the SG Ball and Tarsha Gale teams are back in action on Saturday as they try to win their way into the respective Grand Finals.
Following a win over minor premiers the Sydney Roosters, the SG Ball Sharks now play the Penrith Panthers, the Tarsha Gale Cup girls taking on St George, with both matches set down for St Marys Stadium.
While there is no form line on the Sharks v Panthers SG Ball match, with Saturday representing the first meeting between the teams in 2018, the Tarsha Sharks met the Dragons back in round five, with the Cronulla team coming away 50-28 winners.
All six NSWRL Junior representative finals matches will be played at St Marys Stadium, beginning with a Matthews Cup game at 10.30am.
The SG Ball Sharks are in action at 12 noon, the Tarsha Gale match following at 1.30pm.
The Under 16 Matthews Cup Sharks bowed out last weekend when beaten by the Parramatta Eels.
