The Sharks head into tonight's game against the Wests Tigers reporting no changes to the team which was named earlier in the week.

With two forced changes to the side which beat the Dragons 52-16 a week ago, Toby Rudolf returns to the Sharks starting side, with youngster Jesse Colquhoun added to the interchange bench.

Cameron McInnes, who has been utilised off the Sharks bench in recent matches, coming into the run-on 13.

The changes were as a result of a rib injury suffered by Braden Hamlin-Uele, while Dale Finucane will serve a two-match suspension after pleading guilty to a dangerous throw in the 19th minute of the match against the Dragons.

Brayden Trindall will be the Sharks 18th man and concussion substitution.

For Colquhoun, the call to the top grade comes as a reward for some consistent performances for the Sharks NSW Cup partner club the Newtown Jets. The game tonight will be his fifth in the NRL and his first game in 2023.

The Sharks v Tigers match is scheduled for a 7.50pm kick-off, with the two teams listed below.
