Initially published Tuesday, May 20:

Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has announced his squad to tackle the Roosters at Industree Group Stadium on Saturday night.

In the only change to the starting side, Mawene Hiroti will return from an MCL strain to replace Sam Stonestreet (syndesmosis injury) on the wing.

Hiroti has scored three tries in four NRL appearances this season. He hasn't played since injuring his knee against Wests Tigers in Round 8.

Jesse Ramien has been named at centre after suffering an eye injury in last weekend's win over the Storm, while back-rower Teig Wilton is again listed among the reserves as he aims to complete his comeback from a shoulder issue.

Kick-off is at 7.35pm AEST. Tune into Foxtel and Kayo for live TV coverage.
