Now just one place outside the top five, the red-hot Jersey Flegg Sharks will aim to make it five straight wins as they kick off Sunday's triple-header at PointsBet Stadium against the Kaiviti Silktails.

Cronulla's under 21s have scored a whopping 202 points in their past four games, including a 54-16 victory over the Storm last round to move to the brink of the finals.

Only a solitary competition point behind the fifth-ranked Sea Eagles, the Sharks are ready to strike with their remaining three matches against lower-placed teams.

They faced Fiji's Silktails only three weeks ago in a make-up game following a washout in Round 5, scoring an emphatic 50-0 win to kickstart their momentum.

The forward pack will be somewhat depleted this week after prop Jai Davies went down with what appeared to be a serious knee injury against Melbourne and Lachlan Crossle and John-Thomas Manuofetoa suffered head knocks.

However, with the Newtown Jets on the bye in the Knock-On Effect NSW Cup, the young Sharks will be boosted by the return of Kristian Dixon in the backline and Salesi Ataata and Lachlan Jake Crouch in the engine room. 

Kick-off is at 11.30am on Sunday, with blockbuster NRLW and NRL games against the Knights to follow. See the two team lists below.
