Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2765070, member: 1899"] Cronulla/Canberra and Titans/Warriors are my must-see clashes of the weekend. Cronulla/Canberra is a big clash for both sides. While Cronulla didn't officially lose against the Titans, they lost their 15 game winning streak and could find themselves on a downwards trajectory if the Raiders get on a roll. Conversely, while the Raiders find themselves in the Top 4, they won't be there for long if they continue to produce soft defence, particularly against one of the most lethal offensive sides in the game. The biggest question mark surrounding the game is the availability of James Maloney. The Cronulla Shark's five-eighth was cited by the match review committee for an altercation with Titans centre Konrad Hurrell and he'll have to plead his case to the judiciary if he wishes to play on Saturday. If Maloney is out, that will likely see Fa'amanu Brown return at the five-eighth position. Brown did an admirable job filling in the previous two encounters, but it's worth noting that it was against a Penrith Panthers side missing Josh Mansour and Matt Moylan, and the lowly Newcastle Knights. Meanwhile the Titans/Warriors clash shapes as a defining match for both sides. Both teams are looking to cement their spot inside the Top 8, so on a sunny Sunday afternoon I expect a free-flowing game that could go either way. If either side wins, it will all but confirm their place in the Top 8 with the remaining games being relatively easy. [/QUOTE]
