Sharks winger Ronaldo Mulitalo will be sidelined for around a month after suffering a Grade 2 medial ligament injury.
Mulitalo hurt his left knee in last round's 30-22 defeat to the Cowboys, with Sam Stonestreet named to replace the Kiwi in Saturday's home clash with the Rabbitohs.
Prop Tom Hazelton will also miss the Women in League Round match due to a foot injury. Hazelton, who had played every game in 2024, was touch and go this week but medical staff opted to play it safe with the 25-year-old forward.
In positive news, Jack Williams is set to make his return from a wrist sprain after being included on the interchange bench to face South Sydney.
