Southland Sharks are the third-best offensive and the second-best defensive team in the league. They are sitting in the top four and shouldn’t find any problem in qualifying for the playoffs. But the defeat in the last game is a reality check. They are no invincible and must keep improving and working to improve their soft spots. The Rams are not a bad team either, but a bad start to the season has left them with a mountain to climb. We back Sharks to win this game.
