LeagueNews.co | Robbie Hamilton

The Sharks have announced their NRLW Team List for the upcoming clash against the Knights, and it's set to be a real showdown at PointsBet Stadium.

High-profile recruit Sharni Smale, a rugby sevens legend fresh off the Paris Olympics, will make her debut for the Sharks on Sunday.

The 36-year-old dynamo has been named on the interchange, adding some serious firepower to the team as they take on the back-to-back premiers.

In other team news, star playmaker Emma Tonegato is on the reserve list, wearing jersey No.21 as she edges closer to a return from a calf injury.

Unfortunately, Rhiannon Byers is out of action after a head knock against Canberra, paving the way for Vanessa Foliaki to step up in the back row.

Captain Tiana Penitani's move to the centres last week turned out to be a stroke of genius, with Cassie Staples holding down the fort at fullback.

The duo's outstanding performances were instrumental in the Sharks' impressive 24-12 victory.

The stage is set for another thrilling match-up as the Sharks look to maintain their spot at the top of the ladder.
