How to watch Cronulla Sharks vs Paramatta Eels NRL live and match preview
The Sharks will be looking to bounce back from a tough round 1 loss when they host the Eels this week.
The Sharks lost a tight first round clash against fellow finals contender Canberra 24-19 last week. With both sides narrowly missing the 8 last year it was a potentially significant loss.
The Eels on the other hand edged the Titans 32-28 in one of the most entertaining games of the opening round.
When is Sharks vs Eels?
The clash gets underway at 5:30pm AEDT on Saturday 19 March at Shark Park at Woolooware in Sydney.

Who will win Sharks vs Eels?
The Sharks will rue some missed opportunities against the Raiders last week, with some basic errors ultimately denying them a first-up victory.
The Eels were a little leaky against the Titans but were also quite damaging the other way. That being said they'll need to tighten up defensively to challenge the better sides consistently.
This week they'll be without Sean Russell and Ryan Matterson due to injury.
We sense despite the results from last week, the Sharks aren't too far away from finding their feet and they should secure a narrow victory here.
