The Sharks have made two changes to the team which went down to the Raiders last weekend, one as a result of suspension and one due to injury, for their crucial game against the Bulldogs at CBus Super Stadium on the Gold Coast today.
Aiden Tolman will miss the match after being suspended for a careless high tackle in the Raiders game, while youngster Teig Wilton is a late withdrawal with a minor hamstring strain.
Toby Rudolf moves from lock to front row in place of Tolman, with Jack Williams to start in the 13 jersey, while Briton Nikora returns to the starting side in the back row after Wilton was ruled out late in the week.
Onto the bench for the Sharks comes Royce Hunt, for what will be his first game of the 2021 season, while Andrew Fifita has earned a recall and will join Hunt, Mawene Hiroti and Braden Hamlin-Uele on the interchange bench.
The round 19 Sharks v Bulldogs match is scheduled for a 4.05pm kick off, with the two 17-man team lists, as well as 18th man concussion substitutions, listed below.
