Cronulla intend to spoil Parramatta’s finals bid when they play at Remondis Stadium on Saturday, at 3pm.
And more importantly for the Sharks, another victory keeps them away from wooden spoon territory.
The Sharks are last on for and against percentages, but equal on the same points (14), with Canberra.
The Eels are 12th on 22 points and need to keep winning to make the top eight with six rounds to play.
The Sharks and the Eels will play in the 80th meeting between the two clubs since 1967.
The Sharks have won 41 times against the Eels and have an impressive record at home against them, holding a 21-13 winning record.
In fact, the Sharks have won four of their last five clashes against the Eels.
Wade Graham is once again a key man for the Sharks, as stand-in skipper for injured Paul Gallen. Gallen is out with injured biceps and not expected to play again for another fortnight.
Graham has been powerful in the back row this season with his strong runs in attack and showing his clever ball play.
Overall record at Remondis Stadium: Played 34; Sharks have won 21 games and lost 13 against the Eels.
Can the Sharks continue their winning ways against the Eels?
