<p>Fresh off arguably their best win of the season, the St. George Illawarra Dragons will be out to take another big scalp and keep their faint finals dream alive when they welcome the Cronulla Sharks at Jubilee Stadium on Saturday afternoon.</p> <p>This Southern Shire rivalry has been owned by the Sharks in recent times. They’ve won 10 straight over their neighbours and certainly come into this contest in better form having won four straight, the last of which was a comfortable 32-12 victory over the Cowboys.</p> <p>The Dragons’ 18-12 upset of the table topping Raiders snapped a four-match losing streak but any further slip up will see them extend their streak without a final’s appearance to seven seasons.</p> <p>Minimal movement in both team lists, with the hosts unchanged as they look to carry momentum into this one, while just one for the Sharks, with Toby Rudolf returning to replace the suspended Jesse Colquhoun on the bench.</p> <p>Check out our St George Illawarra Dragons vs Cronulla Sharks match preview for plenty of betting tips and predictions across a host of markets. From H2H to anytime try scorer and everything in between.&nbsp;</p> <p>Looking for all the latest news, analysis, odds, and betting tips ahead of this historically one-sided matchup?
