The Sharks recovered from a slow start to down the Raiders 36-22 in an Easter Sunday showdown at PointsBet Stadium.
Trailing 18-0 after 23 minutes, Cronulla wrestled back momentum to level the scores at half time before controlling proceedings in the second term, running in three more tries in front of a sell-out crowd at Shark Park.
Taking the field without several of their star forwards, Cronulla's depth was on show with Cam McInnes leading the way up front and Kayal Iro starring in just his second top-flight match at centre.
