The Sharks' 24-6 win over the Raiders has secured Cronulla a home elimination final for week one of the 2023 NRL finals.
The competition's top eight had already been set and the order of the top four confirmed after the Panthers downed the Cowboys, but the positions of the bottom four teams hinged on the outcome of the final regular-season match.
Claiming the two points, the Sharks will play the Roosters in a do-or-die finals clash at Shark Park.
