Initially published on Friday, August 15:

Cronulla have trimmed their squad to 19 ahead of tomorrow's NRL clash with the Gold Coast Titans at Sharks Stadium.

Niwhai Puru, Jayden Berrell and Chris Vea'ila have dropped off the extended interchange. Tuku Hau Tapuha and Hohepa Puru remain as reserves.

Initially published Tuesday, August 12:

Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has named his squad for Saturday's home match against the Titans, with Jesse Ramien joining the suspended Briton Nikora on the sideline due to a broken thumb.

Ramien is set to miss 4-6 weeks, opening the door for Mawene Hiroti to take his place at centre. Meanwhile, Billy Burns will start in the second row after Nikora accepted a three-match ban for a high tackle in last week's loss to the Dragons.

Prop Oregon Kaufusi (calf) remains in the casualty ward, with Toby Rudolf listed in the run-on side and Braden Hamlin-Uele reverting to the interchange. Jesse Colquhoun is also back on the bench after serving a one-week suspension.

NRL kick-off on Saturday is at 3pm following an NRLW match between the same opponents at 12.45pm. CLICK HERE to secure tickets to the double-header.

The men's match will be broadcast on Foxtel and Kayo.
