Taco Team List Tuesday
The fourth-placed Sharks, following an impressive victory over the Storm, have a chance to claim another high-profile scalp with they travel north to tackle the Cowboys on Friday night.
The Sharks handed in a dominant performance against Melbourne, however the despite the potential inclusion of their regulars in Nicho Hynes, Toby Rudolf and Siosifa Talakai, all three missing from the Storm win, the Cronulla team face a difficult challenge against a high-flying Cowboys outfit currently sitting second on the NRL ladder.
Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has named Hynes and Rudolf to return, while Talakai, a member of the NSW side to play Queensland tomorrow night, has been selected on an extended bench.
Centre Connor Tracey, outstanding in the Storm match, has retained his place in the Sharks back-line pending the possible availability of Talakai, Andrew Fifita goes from the run-on side onto the interchange bench, with Braydon Trindall on the reserves list.
The only other change for the Sharks sees Teig Wilton come into the starting side in place of Briton Nikora who has been suspended for one match after being charged with dangerous contact.
The Sharks v Cowboys match is scheduled for a 6.00pm kick-off at Queensland Country Bank Stadium on Friday, with the two squads listed below.
