The Sharks have been forced into more changes for the game against competition leaders the Panthers due to an injury suffered by Dale Finucane and the one-week suspension handed down to young backrower Jesse Colquhoun.
Finucane will be sidelined for an extended period after suffering a biceps injury in the loss to Manly, with his place in the starting side to be taken by Cam McInnes.
Wade Graham returns on the left edge for Colquhoun, with Siosifa Talakai included on the Sharks interchange bench after sitting out the game last weekend.
In other team news, Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has again named Connor Tracey in the centres and Braydon Trindall at five eighth after the pair came into the Cronulla side for the game against the Sea Eagles.
Matt Moylan has been selected in jersey 18, with Braden Hamlin Uele also on the extended reserves list as he continues his recovery from a lower leg problem, with his status for this weekend to be known closer to the game.
After a disappointing loss to the Sea Eagles the Sharks will aim to respond against a Panthers team which scored a dominant win over the Bulldogs at their last start.
The Sharks v Panthers clash scheduled for a 7.30pm kick off on Saturday night, with the two 22-man squads listed below.
