The Cronulla Sharks can keep their top-four dream alive with a victory over the cellar-dwellers Gold Coast Titans on Saturday afternoon.
The Sharks, currently eighth on the ladder, have lost four of their five most recent games, including last weekend’s heartbreaking loss to the Dragons.
“The way the competition is right now, it doesn’t matter where you are situated,”
Sharks captain Cameron McInnes warned earlier this week.
“If you don’t have the right mentality going into the game, you’re not going to win.”
