AAP writes: Another pair of sides with little to play for, the Raiders’ season done and Cronulla already locked into finishing either fifth or sixth. As the last match in the round, the Sharks will at least have the opportunity of engineering a result for who they would like to play in the opening week of the finals. No Paul Gallen for the Sharks due to suspension, but Todd Carney is tipped to be back on deck. The Raiders will have a look at the future with NYC halfback Mitch Cornish to make his NRL debut.


Key: Will it be in the Sharks’ best interest to win or lose? Depending on who they would like to play in the finals could affect Cronulla’s motivation to win on Sunday night.
