A win by the Sharks over the Thunderbolts, coupled with a loss by the Penrith Panthers in round eight, has seen the Cronulla Jersey Flegg side climb to the top of the competition table.
The Sharks were scrappy at times but got the job done against the Victorian side last week in taking their record to six wins and just the one loss, putting them in a strong position with the two-week mid-season break to follow.
This Saturday, with the round of matches scheduled for two venues, Leichhardt Oval, where the Sharks and Manly clash, and North Sydney Oval where three games will be played on Sunday.
The Sharks opponents this weekend in the Sea Eagles have battled somewhat during the early rounds of the season, failing to register a win so far in their seven matches to date.
Manly come into the game on the back of a 30-16 loss to the Bulldogs at their last start.
The Sharks and Sea Eagles Jersey Flegg match is scheduled for a 3.45pm kick-off on Saturday.
