The Sharks have burst out of the gates in 2024, racking up seven wins and one loss as they prepare to host the Dragons.
Their opponent's have had a much more inconsistent start to their season, with St. George Illawarra entering this game following a 60-18 thrashing at the hands of the Roosters.
Can Dragons' new coach Shane Flanagan claim a win in a return to his old stomping ground, or can the Sharks sniff blood in the water once more.

Cronulla Sharks vs St. George Illawarra Dragons tips and prediction
The Cronulla Sharks haven't lost a game since round 3, and they enter round 9 having scored 40 or more points in back-to-back games.
In comparison, the Dragons have been up and down all season, conceding 60 points last week, but scoring 30 against the Warriors the week before.
While they may be unpredictable, the Sharks certainly aren't, and their win streak won't be coming to an end just yet.
