Team vs the Wahs round 14

[bad boy bubby]

Fresh from a bye, Cronulla will welcome back Sione Katoa and Teig Wilton after injury layoffs at Sharks Stadium on Saturday night.

Katoa, named on the wing in a swap with the suspended Ronaldo Mulitalo, will play his first match of the season after injuring his shoulder in a February trial.


Wilton's timely return – also from a shoulder issue – comes at the expense of Billy Burns, who slides to 18th man after performing strongly in the second-rower's absence for the past five matches.

The Sharks have otherwise retained the same side that lost to the Roosters in Round 12, with Mawene Hiroti selected on the opposite flank to Katoa after replacing Sam Stonestreet (syndesmosis injury) a fortnight ago.

Cronulla will celebrate Sharks Have Heart Round this week, highlighting the club's commitment to making a genuine difference in the community.

The team will also wear a historic 'Tangata Moana' Pasifika jersey. Get yours here.

Gates open at 3pm, with a Jersey Flegg clash between the Sharks and Warriors preceding the main event, which kicks off at 5.30pm. Secure your tickets now!

The NRL game will be broadcast live on Foxtel and Kayo.

[Don Tweddle]

Katoa is a big in.

I really would have liked to have seen H Puru on the bench though - how bad do the incumbents have to play before Fitz makes a change? Plus he knocked the door down with his all-round performance against the Roosters.

 

[Bookie]

Hope TTF is conditioned enough. Love to see it though.

 

[bluefox68]

Why oh why does he keep picking Atko????

Puru covers mids
Talakai and Nikora cover backs
Brailey / McInnes cover halves

 

[DJDL]

how bad do the incumbents have to play before Fitz makes a change?

Paul Carige-level wouldn’t even be enough.

 

[sladden road]

Go Leo Tanoi.

Constable care in the house

Constable care in the house

I haven't heard of old Constable Care since i lived in WA a long time ago!!!

 

[Quigs]

Is that a spellun mistake

 

[Cheese sandwich]

Think we'll bounce back in this one, bye came at the right time. Barnett a big out for them, though I hesitated before writing that seeing as though the roosters had about 27 players missing last game.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Bloke will deadset pick Atko round 1 next year. FMD

 

[Tiger Shark]

Why oh why does he keep picking Atko????

Puru covers mids
Talakai and Nikora cover backs
Brailey / McInnes cover halves

And if he wasn’t playing the Storm game we lose.

 

[Tiger Shark]

Hope TTF is conditioned enough. Love to see it though.

Don’t see why not. He’s been able to run for ages, would have been doing contact for weeks and he’s a winger

 

[bluefox68]

And if he wasn’t playing the Storm game we lose.

Nah - the tries he scored could have been scored by any U/21’s player.
