The Cronulla Sharks meet premiers North Queensland  in the 2nd Preliminary Final this week for a  spot in the 2016 NRL Grand Final.

The Cowboys affirmed once again that they are the team to beat this season with their remarkable extra time victory over the Broncos ensuring they have the opportunity to defend their 201 title.

Veteran Sharks hooker  Michael Ennis (pictured) says he’ll be at pains to remind his younger players this week not to take the Grand Final opportunity lightly.
