Timestamp: Fri 15 May 2026, 04:25 PM

With final team lists submitted, the Sharks can confirm the return of outside backs Ronaldo Mulitalo and Jesse Ramien, with pair set to take the field against the Bulldogs in the opening game of the NRL's Magic Round weekend.

Mulitalo will play his first game of the 2026 season after recovering from an ACL tear suffered while playing for New Zealand late last year, while Ramian makes his first appearance since round five.

Ramien injured his knee in the game against the Warriors.

The pair are significant additions to a Sharks side which was soundly beaten by Souths at their most recent outing.

In other team news, in the absence of Blayke Brailey, Hohepa Puru will start the match at hooker, with specialist number nine Jayden Berrell on the interchange bench.

Otherwise, the Sharks team is as selected, Riley Jones dropping off the extended reserves list, with Mawene Hiroti and Braden Uele retained on the six-man interchange bench.

Oregon Kaufusi was omitted from the original squad named on Tuesday.

See following the two 19-man squads for the game which kicks off at 6.00pm at Suncorp Stadium.
