The Sharks will have the week off after five-eighth Sam Clune score three tries and centre Wayde Aitken two in the victory.
They will meet the winner of next weekend’s showdown between Warilla and Kiama.
After a tumultuous couple of weeks on and off the field for the Gorillas, they ensured they would finish second with a 58-12 win over Berry-Shoalhaven Heads.
However, Kiama are up for the right, after overthrowing Stingrays 60-12.
“Played really well so good to get away with the win,” Kiama coach Matt Clarke said. “It’s going to be a very tough game, they’re a physical side so, we’ve just got to play smart, complete the ball and hold our sets.
“We’re not sure, hopefully, (centre Ethan) Fordy, we hope is going to be back next week. We’re not sure with him, he’s got a little fracture in his hand, but he could be back.
“And Brad Scott is touch and go. I think we’ve got a different attitude this time in. It’s semi-final football. We will be up for it. I’m pretty sure the boys will handle it.”
It means premiers Jamberoo will meet perennial heavyweights Gerringong in the minor semi-final next weekend.
It will be the second weekend in a row, after the Lions overpowered the Roos 32-12 on Saturday.
Jamberoo claimed their first premiership in more than four decades last year, but face a monumental task to defend their crown after finishing fifth on the Group Seven ladder.
