There are no other changes to the playing 17 in the updated 24-hour squad. Braden Hamlin-Uele and Hohepa Puru have been omitted from the extended bench, with forward Jesse Colquhoun promoted to 18th man.

Hooker Jayden Berrell also remains on the reserves list.

Published on Tuesday, April 22:

The Sharks have named their 22-man squad for Sunday afternoon's Anzac Round clash with Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval.

Shooting for three wins on the trot, Cronulla have made one change with Tuku Hau Tapuha returning to the interchange to replace fellow prop Toby Rudolf, who sustained a syndesmosis injury in last weekend's 34-14 victory over Newcastle.

Rudolf will see a specialist on Wednesday to determine his recovery timeframe.

Front-rower Braden Hamlin-Uele has been included on the extended bench as he nears a comeback from a knee cartilage injury suffered in Round 3.

Kick-off is at 4.05pm, with live coverage on Nine, Nine Now, Foxtel and Kayo.
