Sharks v Dragons: Ravics returns; Half-centruy for Ciesiolka

Cronulla and St George Illawarra meet in a local derby with both teams aiming to finish 2026 on a high.

The Sharks were one of the stories of Round 10, travelling to Auckland and upsetting the Warriors 40-32 in their most dynamic attacking display of the season. Fullback Jada Taylor starred as Cronulla ran in seven tries.

The Dragons may have fallen 24-16 to Brisbane, but there was plenty to like about their effort. St George Illawarra enjoyed strong periods of possession and field position and remained in the contest until the closing stages.

Cronulla's challenge will be backing up their attacking breakthrough, while the Dragons will be looking to improve their efficiency after creating opportunities.

With little separating the sides and local bragging rights on the line, this is one of the most evenly matched games of the weekend.
