The Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs and the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks are set to face off in Round 27 of the 2025 National Rugby League (NRL) at Accor Stadium in Sydney.
The Bulldogs have qualified for the Finals Series and had been atop the NRL ladder for a good chunk of the home-and-away season. However, their form has somewhat dropped off in the second part of the campaign and have slipped to third as the Raiders secured the Minor Premiership.
With 14 victories and nine losses, the Sharks' campaign has been uneven but good enough to get them to the Finals Series. They are now fighting to secure a Top Four finish and are fighting hard with the Broncos and the Warriors.
