The Sharks will meet the Roosters at Shark Park in week one of the finals, with Canberra heading to Newcastle after Cronulla beat the Raiders 24-6 at a raucous Shark Park.

The Raiders led early through Jordan Rapana's early try, but the Sharks hit back through Jesse Ramien to leave the score 6-4 at half-time.

Jack Williams scored to give the Sharks the lead 12 minutes into the second period, but the game really swung on the send off from Seb Kris with 20 minutes remaining, who tipped Sione Katoa into the ground in a dangerous tackle.

The Sharks made hay when up a man, with Braydon Trindall, Ronaldo Mulitalo and Katoa all crossing to secure a home final against the Roosters next week.

"It's gonna be a massive game," Sharks forward Briton Nikora told ABC Sport.

"We're happy to get the job done today and get a home game."

The Raiders missed the chance to secure a home final of their own, and will now take on the in form Knights in Newcastle.
