16 all

But the last tackle comes undone and Edwards seems to have dropped it...

Penalty against Cronulla for laying in the play the ball. Is momentum about to shift? The Sharks were gaining ascendancy but some ill-discipline is hurting them tonight. Tigers 40 out.

0 all

Maloney sends it high on the last but Nofoaluma has it and he finds Chee-Kam who almost breaks a tackle. Tedesco now has it. Very fast start to this one!

Brooks kicks, it's almost a 40/20 but Feki taps it back for Holmes.

KICK OFF!

Tough one to pick is this clash. The Tigers could very easily suffer a bit of a let down this week after getting up for last week's game against the Dogs while the Sharks will be keen to make amends for last week's loss. Still, I like the Tigers in an upset by 4.

For the home side, Tim Grant is out with JJ Felise taking his spot on the bench. Meanwhile, veteran Luke Lewis has been ruled out for the Sharks with Tony Williams named to make his debut for the Sharks.

Good evening and welcome to League Unlimited's live coverage of tonight's Tigers vs Sharks clash from Leichhardt Oval! The Tigers are purring after a 18-12 upset win over Canterbury while the Sharks will be looking to bounce back from a shock 16-12 loss to the Titans. Should be an interesting clash!
