The Sharks have named a trial match team with 10 players from their 2017 NRL squad, a handful of 2018 new recruits and a selection of young guns for their first hit out of the pre-season on Saturday night.
The Sharks play the Manly Sea Eagles in a trial match scheduled to get underway at Southern Cross Group Stadium at 7.30pm.
Newcomers Matt Moylan, Braden Uele, Ava Seumanufagai and Aaron Gray will have their first games in Cronulla colours, with the Sharks potential round one ‘spine’ of Valentine Holmes, Chad Townsend, Jayden Brailey and Moylan set to get some valuable game time as they try to work on combinations ahead of the round one clash with the Cowboys.
Saturday night will feature three games, beginning with a Jersey Flegg under-20’s trial at 3.05pm, followed by an Intrust Super Premiership match between Newtown and Blacktown Workers Sea Eagles at 5.05pm.
