With no late changes, the Sharks will line up 1-17 in tonight's Multicultural Round clash against Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval.

Jack Williams has been given the nod to start in the second row in place of the suspended Briton Nikora while Billy Burns will make his club debut off the bench.

A former Panther and Dragon, Burns will become Shark #559.

After missing last week's win over the Bulldogs due to a virus, prop Royce Hunt is confirmed to return on the interchange at the expense of Tuku Hau Tapuha, who has been omitted from extended squad and will play for the Newtown Jets tomorrow.

For the third straight week, Kayal Iro is on standby in jersey No.18 as a potential concussion substitute.

See the updated team lists below. Kick-off is scheduled for 7.35pm, with live TV coverage on Foxtel and Kayo.
