It was September last year when the Dogs were last in the win column, but they finally scrubbed that zero off their points tally for 2021 with a 18-12 victory at Kogarah.

Cronulla are hoping it will be a case of third time lucky against Canterbury Bankstown after successive late-game defeats to the Roosters and Knights.

Titans winger Phil Sami (concussion) has been named on an extended bench to face the Rabbitohs and is a chance of playing.
