The Sharks will be looking to bounce back following their upset loss to the Cowboys last week, but will have a fight on their hands against a desperate Wests Tigers.

Wests Tigers are still searching for their first win of the season after going down to the Titans last week, but as they have all season so far, showed plenty of signs of positive things to come.

Winger Caitlin Turnbull scored a hat-trick in a losing cause, but has been a shining light for the team in her debut season.

In a seesawing game, the Sharks were outgunned by the Cowboys with both sides crossing for three tries, with some missed conversions proving the difference in the end.

Cronulla have now lost two of their opening three games by a margin of two points with a big 50+ win in between, so have found consistency hard to achieve and will be looking to start well and go on with the job against the Tigers.
