On Taco Team List Tuesday, brought to you by the major partner Zambrero, the Sharks have named their 21-man squad to play the Roosters at the SCG on Saturday.
The Sharks will be out to build on their impressive last start win over the Cowboys, however they faced a stern test of their credentials against one of the premiership heavyweights in the Sydney Roosters.
Giving the Cronulla side plenty of confidence will be the performances of some of their unheralded youngsters over the past few weeks, with Teig Wilton, Connor Tracey, Jack Williams and Will Kennedy outstanding for the Sharks in the big win over North Queensland last weekend.
While Briton Nikora has one more game to sit out due to his suspension, Wilton again named to start in the back row, the Sharks do welcome back Jesse Ramien, the hard-running Sharks centre to return after missing three matches for a high tackle in round one.
Josh Dugan, who suffered a head knock and bad cut last weekend has so far passed his HIA protocols and has been named in the Sharks team, as has Ronaldo Mulitalo who missed the second half of the Cowboys game.
The Roosters head into the match with three wins from four starts, their last victory coming on Sunday against the New Zealand Warriors.
The Sharks and Roosters are scheduled to meet at 7.30pm on Saturday night at the Sydney Cricket Ground. See the two squad lists below.
