NRL Late Mail: Semi-Final v Raiders

The Sharks have named their team to take on the Raiders at GIO Stadium tonight, with Tom Hazelton set to return after missing the match against the Roosters last weekend. 

Hazelton was sidelined with cellulitis however after a strong week on the training field has been deemed fit to return, with the rangy prop forward coming onto the Sharks interchange bench. 

With the return of Hazelton, Oregon Kaufusi will be 18th man in the only change to the Sharks line up which impressed in beating the Roosters 20-10 in week one of the Finals. 

Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon will be looking for a similar defensive performance from his side against a Canberra outfit which went down in extra time to the Brisbane Broncos last Sunday afternoon. 

Kickoff to the finals match up will be at 7.50pm, with the two 17-man squads listed below.
