The NRLW Sharks were gallant in defeat in going down 10-0 to the Wests Tigers last Sunday, with the undefeated Titans to present another formidable challenge in a standalone round three match at PointsBet Stadium this weekend.
The Sharks had their chances against the Tigers however a combination of strong defense from their opponents and missed opportunities when in strong attacking positions saw the Cronulla girls drop the second game of their season after an impressive round one win.
The sin-binning of prop Harata Butler didn’t help the Sharks cause, with the Cronulla girls conceding all 10 points with a player down.
Butler has been suspended for one match after being charged with dangerous contact, with her place in the starting side to be taken by Chloe Saunders for the game against the Titans on Saturday.
In the only other change to the Sharks team, Fiona Jahnke has been added to the interchange bench for what would be her first game in the NRLW for the Cronulla club.
Fullback Jada Taylor and experienced middle forward Holli Wheeler have been named on an extended Sharks reserves list as they continue their recovery from leg injuries.
