We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
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.
The 2023 NRL Telstra Premiership Finals Series Week One schedule has been unveiled, with matches set to take place in Sydney, Brisbane, and Newcastle.
According to a report by raiders.com.au, the NRL Telstra Premiership Finals Week One Schedule has been released, providing fans with the times and venues for all the matches.
This announcement comes from NRL Chief Executive Andrew Abdo, who expressed his excitement for the thrilling conclusion to the 2023 regular season.
Rugby League enthusiasts can now plan their attendance or television viewing, as the stage is set for an action-packed Week One of the finals series.
The Canberra Raiders not only lost a home semi-final, but they've probably lost Sebastian Kris for the rest of the season as well.
Kris was sent off for a horror tackle on Cronulla winger Sione Katoa that could earn him a hefty suspension from the match review committee.
It came in the 60th minute with the game in the balance, Cronulla then clicking into gear to run out 24-6 winners at Shark Park on Sunday.
