Taco Team List Tuesday
With just five days to dust off and get ready to go again it was straight back to work for the Sharks following their thrilling last-minute win over the Eels on Saturday.
The Sharks completed a review of their performance on Sunday, a day to rest and recover on Monday, then it was back to work today in preparation for the local derby against a St George Illawarra team which has been impressive in registering a win, then a narrow loss to the 2021 premiers the Panthers last weekend.
Suspension and injury have forced two changes to the Sharks side to face the Dragons, with Teig Wilton accepting an early plea and taking a one match ban for a tackle on Mitch Moses which was deemed by the match review to be dangerous contact.
In his place comes Siosifa Talakai, with the rampaging backrower putting in a strong performance in the win over the Eels.
Also missing on Thursday night will be Ronaldo Mulitalo who with the short turnaround hasn’t had time to complete the NRL concussion protocols in time to take his place in the Sharks team. In his place comes the extremely capable Matt Ikuvalu.
While with Talakai moving from the bench to the starting side, Braydon Trindall returns from a two-match suspension and has been added to the Sharks 17.
The Sharks v Dragons match is scheduled for an 8pm kick off at WIN Stadium on Thursday night.
