Panthers: 1. Dylan Edwards 2. Sunia Turuva 3. Izack Tago 4. Paul Alamoti 5. Brian To’o 6. Jarome Luai 7. Nathan Cleary 8. Moses Leota 9. Mitch Kenny 10. James Fisher-Harris 11. Luke Garner 12.

Back-rower Scott Sorensen (hamstring) has been named among the reserves as he looks to return in time to help his side qualify for the Grand Final. If he is a late inclusion, Luke Garner would likely move to the bench with Brad Schneider dropping out.
Sunia Turuva was fined for tripping James Tedesco in the win over the Roosters while Nathan Cleary made a successful comeback from his shoulder concern and after an extra week off to rehab the injury, he will take his place in the line-up against the Sharks.
Sharks: 1. William Kennedy 2. Sione Katoa 3. Jesse Ramien 4. Kayal Iro 5. Ronaldo Mulitalo 6. Braydon Trindall 7. Nicho Hynes 8. Toby Rudolf 9. Blayke Brailey 10. Oregon Kaufusi 11. Briton Nikora 12. Teig Wilton 13. Cameron McInnes 14. Siosifa Talakai 15. Jack Williams 16. Royce Hunt 17. Thomas Hazelton 18. Daniel Atkinson 19. Braden Hamlin-Uele 20. Mawene Hiroti 21. Jayden Berrell 22. Samuel Stonestreet
The Sharks named the same 17 that beat the Cowboys. Jesse Ramien (ankle) made it through his comeback match against the Cowboys but Samoan winger Sione Katoa continues to be hampered by a hip injury. Both have been named in the starting side.
Ramien downplayed wearing a moon boot at Cronulla on Monday, confident he will line up on the Sharks’ right edge despite recent ankle troubles.
