Sharks vs. Rabbitohs Predictions - NRL Round 22 2026Ended

The NRL continues with Round 22 action between the Sharks vs. Rabbitohs on Sunday, August 2 at 2:00 pm at Ocean Protect Stadium.

The Sharks are firm favourites to continue their winning streak against an inconsistent but dangerous Rabbitohs outfit.

Best Bet

Sharks -11.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Sharks are the hottest team in the NRL, and they love playing day games at Ocean Protect Stadium. They are 11-0 in their last 11 games in these circumstances, and that’s bad news for the visiting Rabbitohs.

We haven’t been impressed by the Rabbitohs recently, who lost to Canberra before getting lucky to beat Melbourne last week. There’s something missing from their lineup, and they could fall out of the top eight in the next few weeks.

It’s full steam ahead for the Sharks, who look capable of winning a premiership, and they should have too many guns for the Rabbits. They scored a gutsy win over Newcastle before hammering the Sea Eagles, and it could be another one-sided affair.

Take the -11.5 line before it moves to -12.5 throughout the week. We expect most of the money to come for the Sharks, who should win and cover the spread.

Sharks -11.5, Ronaldo Mulitalo Anytime Try Scorer, KL Iro Anytime Try Scorer, Over 50.5 @ $8.00

Bet Now

It should be a high-scoring contest in Cronulla, and we have the Sharks scoring close to 40 points. Over 50.5 points is a good NRL SGM pick.

Some of the Sharks tries could come from Ronaldo Mulitalo and KL Iro. Mulitalo has been excellent since returning from injury, and he could add to his try tally. He has four tries in his last three games, and his energy levels have infused the Sharks.

Iro has three tries from his last three games, including a double. He started the year on fire, and although he cooled off a touch, his form has improved as the finals have drawn closer.

Best Value Bet

Ronaldo Mulitalo First Try Scorer @ $7.50

Bet Now

The Sharks play their best when Mulitalo gives them an early try, and he could score the opening try of the afternoon.

He has made a huge difference for the Sharks since returning, and he’s making up for lost time with five tries from his last five games.

Punters get $7.50 for the winger to get on the board first.
