Ronaldo Mulitalo is set to return as the Sharks contest the Steve Rogers Memorial Trophy against the Sea Eagles at 4 Pines Park on Sunday to round out the regular season.
Mulitalo, who has missed the past two matches with a knee issue, has been named in his usual wing position at the expense of Sam Stonestreet.
Siosifa Talakai (calf) has been listed among the reserves in jersey No.19 as the versatile forward pushes to return ahead of the finals series.
Centre Jesse Ramien is back from a one-week suspension, with Italian international Daniel Atkinson moving to an interchange utility role as a result.
Cronulla are otherwise poised to line up as they did in last week's 30-28 loss to the Warriors. In a testament to his remarkable durability, hooker Blayke Brailey will play his 100th consecutive game.
Manly currently hold the Steve Rogers Memorial Trophy after a 30-26 victory last time the teams met in Round 21 of 2023.
Kick-off at a sold-out 4 Pines Park is scheduled for 2pm.
