After scoring a crucial win over the Dragons in round 21, the Sharks had last weekend off due to the bye to reflect and regroup ahead of their last two matches and what they hope will be a push towards a Jersey Flegg Finals appearance.
The young Sharks delivered perhaps their most complete performance of the year in accounting for fellow Finals aspirants the Dragons, the win moving them to fourth while leaving their destiny in their own hands over the last two weeks of the season.
With only five teams qualifying for the Jersey Flegg Finals series, the Sharks will need two wins to confirm their position, hopefully the first of which will come on Saturday against a Manly side sitting 10th but sure to throw out a considerable challenge on their home turf.
The Sharks v Sea Eagles Flegg match will be the first of three games at 4Pines Park on Saturday, with a Knock-On Effect NSW Cup match between Blacktown Workers and Newtown to follow, before the NRL clash featuring Cronulla and Manly at 5.30pm.
