Timestamp: Tue 25 Jun 2024, 03:59 PM

Back from a bye, Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has named a strong squad to tackle the Bulldogs at Accor Stadium on Friday night.

Fitzgibbon has settled on the same starting side as the Round 15 clash against the Dolphins, with Siosifa Talakai set to play second row in his 100th NRL game.

However, edge forward Teig Wilton (shoulder) remains a chance of returning from injury after being listed as a reserve.

Elsewhere, prop Tuku Hau Tapuha has replaced Braden Hamlin-Uele on the bench. He will form part of a sizeable interchange alongside the rampaging Royce Hunt, towering Tom Hazelton and consistent Jack Williams.

Cronulla (third place) and Canterbury (sixth) last met in Round 2, with the Sharks scoring a hard-fought 25-6 victory at home on that occasion.

Kick-off on Friday is at 8pm. If you're not headed to the game, you can catch the action live on Nine, Nine Now, Foxtel and Kayo.
