We love the mighty Canberra Raiders
The Sharks will be aiming to bounce back from their recent losses as they travel to North Queensland to face the Cowboys in Round 5.
The Cowboys currently sit one spot above the Sharks on the ladder, making this a crucial match for both teams.
The Sharks have dropped from fourth to ninth after defeats to the Wests Tigers and Roosters, and they will be eager to recapture the form they showed in their first win against the Raiders.
Craig Bellamy's revelation about Ryan Papenhuyzen in huge finals boost for Storm
Melbourne Storm coach Craig Bellamy has provided the biggest hint yet that his side will be boosted by the return of superstar fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen before the NRL finals series. Melbourne jumped back into the top-four after a 48-2 mauling of Canberra in round 24 that saw Raiders coach Ricky Stuart storm out of his post-match press conference after slamming the "embarrassing" display from his men.
The win all but sewed up a spot in the finals for Bellamy's side, who could be set to welcome Papenhuyzen back in the coming weeks in what would be a massive boost for Melbourne's premiership chances. The 2020 Clive Churchill Medallist hasn't played in the NRL for more than a year after shattering his kneecap in Magic Round in 2022.
With finals fast approaching, Jarrod Croker is fit and ready to fire for the Canberra Raiders.
In desperate need of a win against the Bulldogs, the veteran centre is cleared to play on Sunday having overcome a hamstring complaint.
After recently announcing his retirement at the end of this season, the 32-year-old is coming back with plenty to play for in the three remaining regular season games before finals.
