Taco Team List Tuesday - Sharks v Panthers

Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has named an unchanged 17 for Saturday's must-watch clash with the champion Panthers.

Ladder-leading Cronulla will host the three-time reigning premiers at a packed PointsBet Stadium for the first time since 2019 in an Indigenous Round blockbuster.

With his team staring down an eighth consecutive victory after coming through a Magic Round thriller against the Roosters in Brisbane unscathed, Fitzgibbon has understandably opted not to tinker with a successful formula.

Having overcome calf tightness to produce another five-star performance on the weekend, halfback Nicho Hynes will again steer the ship as the Sharks aim to topple a Penrith side, sans Nathan Cleary, that lost to the Warriors last Sunday.

Kick-off is at 5.30pm. See the 22-man team list below.

This game is officially a sellout – keep an eye on Ticketek where the ONLY way to secure a ticket up until kick-off is through our Member seat resale.
