The 5th-placed Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks will host the 8th-placed North Queensland Cowboys at Allianz Stadium this Saturday night (September 12).
With the winner advancing to Finals Week Two to meet the loser of the Panthers v Roosters qualifying final, the club is calling all Sharks fans to show their true colours and turn Allianz black, white and blue, and cheer our boys to victory.
As an added bonus, Saturday will be billed as a Sharks double-header, with the NRLW Sharks v Dragons match also relocated to Allianz and kicking off at 5.30pm.

In recent years, Cronulla has hosted Week 1 finals games at Ocean Protect Stadium, but the NRL has decided to move this year’s to Allianz Stadium.
Cronulla CEO Dino Mezzatesta said, “We’re disappointed our home game will be played at Allianz and not at our home, Ocean Protect Stadium, but we must respect the NRL’s decision and move forward.”
"It's another reminder of how vital it is we secure funding to upgrade our stadium so that we can bring finals footy back to Ocean Protect Stadium in the future.
“The impact our fans have at home was fully evident last night as they helped lift our young side to what would have been an incredible victory over Melbourne.
“We’re calling on all Sharks members and fans to bring that same atmosphere to turn Allianz Stadium into a black, white and blue ‘Shark Tank’ this Saturday, where we hope to have 25,000 fans flying the Sharks flag."
