Welcome to Shark Park, on a warm winter afternoon - the first of our triple header sees Cronulla look to rebound after their heavy defeat to Melbourne Storm last weekend against an enigmatic Tigers team that is trying to lift themselves out of the spoon race. It has been an interesting season for the visitors who have picked up some big scalps in the premiers but can't find consistency.

Cronulla were on a roll for the last few months which lifted them into the top eight but after last week, can they rebound and put away the Tigers like expected? Find out at 3pm AEST.
