Initially published on Tuesday, September 9:

Sharks coach Tony Herman has announced his squad for Thursday night's Round 11 NRLW clash with the Roosters at polytec Stadium.

While the starting side is unchanged from Saturday's 24-14 defeat to the Bulldogs, young back-rower Anne-Marie Kiria-Ratu has regained her place on the interchange at the expense of prop Jacinta Carter, who is now the 18th woman.

Cronulla have already cemented a spot in the finals, but this round's results will determine who and where they play in a sudden-death match next week.

Kick-off on Thursday is set for 7.45pm.

The match will be broadcast on 9, 9Now, Foxtel and Kayo.
