The National Rugby League (NRL) season is drawing to a close, with Round 25 featuring crucial matchups for teams aiming for a strong finish. Cronulla is set to take on Gold Coast, seeking to break a two-game losing streak and solidify their position in the top four.

Hard to go past Cronulla today, right? But there are a couple of things to consider here - no Braydon Trindall makes it tough and how Niwhai Puru goes at five-eighth in relief will go a long way towards deciding the match.

Despite recent losses, Cronulla remains a strong contender. However, the absence of Braydon Trindall and the performance of Niwhai Puru at five-eighth will be key factors in their match against the Titans. Meanwhile, the Sydney Roosters will be without their fullback James Tedesco for the third consecutive week as they prepare to play Wests Tigers. A victory for the Roosters is essential to maintain their position at the top of the ladder.

The Sharks have also dropped two matches in a row, so they'll be a little low on confidence.

Phil Sami of the Titans is on the verge of breaking Gold Coast's all-time try-scoring record, adding another layer of intrigue to the weekend's fixtures. Gold Coast has made changes to their lineup, with Moe Fotuaika and Arama Hau moving to the bench, and Kleese Haas and Kurtis Morrin starting in the front row and second row, respectively. Cronulla's team remains unchanged.

Let's go the Sharks but only by ten.
