Still sitting in fourth position on the Jersey Flegg ladder despite three consecutive losses, the Sharks face the Panthers this weekend in attempting to stop their slide.
In a match to be played at Henson Park on Saturday as the curtain-raiser to the Jets v Magpies NSW Cup clash, the Sharks will be keen to respond after a disappointing 34-18 last start loss to the Dragons, while the Panthers also come into the game on the back of a loss after going down by 14-6 to the Canberra Raiders in round 18.
The two teams have yet to meet in 2023.
The match is a crucial one for both teams, with the Panthers currently third on the Flegg ladder, one place and one point ahead of the Sharks.
The game is scheduled for a 1.00pm kick off at Henson Park on Saturday, with the Sharks team listed below.
