The Canterbury Bulldogs and Cronulla Sharks go head-to-head in a tantalising NRL Telstra Premiership Monday Night Football clash at ANZ Stadium.

Leading the way up front for their respective teams will be Bulldogs captain James Graham and Sharks enforcer Andrew Fifita in what will be a clash of the titans.

The Bulldogs average 1,570 metres gained from 185 runs per game so far in 2016 while the Sharks average 1,521m from 172 runs. 

Canterbury have scored 48 tries so far this season at an average of 4 per game, while the Sharks have crossed the line 50 times at an average of 5 per game.

It will be Graham and Fifita who will be looking to gain the ascendency up front to lay the platform for their attacking backs. Who will come out on top?
