Welcome to Leagueunlimited's live coverage of this early season crunch match between the Cronulla Sharks and Brisbane Broncos. Both teams will be looking for their first win of the season after a disappointing start last week.
Andrew Fifita will clock up his 100th NRL game and Andrew McCullough will step out for game 150.
Look out for a return to form from Ben Barba tonight who was shown the door by Broncos coach Bennett during the off season. The Broncos will be looking for plenty of impact from their bench tonight with Sam Thaiday to add some spark along with debutantes Joe Ofahengaue and Kodi Nikorima.
