The Late Mail: Sharks v Warriors

Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks v Warriors

Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks v Warriors

Rounding out the weekend and possibly the foreseeable future in Sydney with a crucial top eight clash at Kogarah. Both sides coming off last start losses and looking to get themselves back into the top eight equation. 

The Cronulla Sharks have a number of changes tonight. Will Chambers is out due to Covid-19 protocols due to the birth of his child. Congrats Will. That means Connor Tracey moves to the centres from the halves. Braydon Trindall will now partner Shaun Johnson in the halves while Siosifa Talakai starts swapping with Briton Nikora. Lastly, Mawene Hiroti fills the final bench spot. Luke Metcalf is the 18th man. 

Slightly more stable, New Zealand Warriors are the same side named earlier this weekend. This means mid-season recruit Matt Lodge starts in the front row with Jazz Tevaga taking Tohu Harris' lock position due to the latter's injury.
