Sitting atop the ladder, the Cronulla Sharks are set to continue their hunt for glory into Round 5 against the Dragons after a thrilling victory over back-to-back premiers Newcastle.

Coach Tony Herman has shown confidence in his squad, naming a similar line-up as they prepare for the Wollongong clash, however rugby sevens superstar Dominique du Toit looms on the extended interchange after joining the Sharks on Tuesday.

In injury news, the team could be without second-rower Talei Homes, who was stretchered off the field against the Knights after landing awkwardly on her head.

While she's thankfully been cleared of a serious neck injury and named as a reserve, her return-to-play timeframe is still to be determined.

Stepping into the second row in Holmes' place is Rhiannon Byers, who is back in the squad after a head knock in Round 3. Byers has already shown adaptability this season and is set to make an impact upon her return.

Kick-off on Sunday is at 6.10pm, following the conclusion of an NRL fixture between the same teams. Catch the action live on Nine Gem, Nine Now, Foxtel and Kayo.
