Taco Team List Tuesday
The Sharks will be without Sione Katoa for their match against the Panthers on Saturday after the try-scoring winger underwent shoulder surgery earlier today to repair a pectoral injury.
Katoa was injured while scoring the match-sealing try against the Cowboys and is expected to miss the remainder of the 2022 NRL season.
For their game against the ladder-leading Penrith side, coach Craig Fitzgibbon has opted to move Connor Tracey from the centres to the Katoa’s spot on the wing, with Siosifa Talakai to return to the Sharks backline after missing the Cowboys game.
Talakai played for NSW in the third Origin game and was unable to back up for the Sharks in Townsville two days later.
In the only other change to the Sharks team Briton Nikora returns to the starting side after serving a one-match suspension, with Teig Wilton going back to the interchange bench.
Aiden Tolman, a late withdrawal from the Cowboys game has been selected in jersey 19, with last week’s debutant Jesse Colquhoun also named on the extended reserves list.
The Sharks v Panthers game is scheduled for a 5.30pm kickoff at BlueBet Stadium on Saturday.
