More than a month of isolation, followed by three weeks of team preparations and the NRL is back up and running, with the Sharks to play the Wests Tigers in a round three clash on Saturday night.
The Sharks have named a team with Josh Dugan in the centres where he will partner Jesse Ramien, youngster Will Kennedy retains his place at fullback, with Matt Moylan named as a reserve in jersey 19 as a part of an extended interchange bench.
The forward pack takes on a familiar look, with Wade Graham the skipper in jersey 12, while Jack Williams, as he did through the opening two rounds before shutdown, will play at lock following Paul Gallen’s retirement at the end of the 2019 season.
After successive four-point losses in their opening two games the Sharks will be looking to open their account with a victory, while the Tigers come into the match with a one win, one loss record.
The match is scheduled to kick off at 5.30pm and will be televised live on Fox Sports.
