NRL Round 9: Cowboys Vs Sharks – Our Insights & Best Bets

Both sides are coming off crucial wins in Round 8 and will resume their rivalry having met on 50 occasions prior, with the Sharks leading the Cowboys in the head-to-head battle 32-18.

The Sharks have moved to fifth and have a winning record for the first time this season after accounting for the Roosters (22-12) and Bulldogs (33-20) since the bye. William Kennedy’s first-half hat-trick spearheaded the latter victory in Round 8.

The 3-5 Cowboys held on for a crucial 18-16 win over Newcastle on Saturday, arresting a three-match slide. Scott Drinkwater and Reece Robson were standouts, but their loss of attacking verve – scoring the third-least points per game in the NRL – remains an issue.
