Sharks head honcho Tony "The Shark" Herman is backing his squad to come out fighting in Saturday's showdown against the Broncos, making just one switcharoo for Round 8's rumble on the Gold Coast.
Despite taking a hefty 40-0 hit from the Roosters, Cronulla still holds a two-point lead at the summit, stringing together six victorious bouts to kick off the season.
The electric Nakia "The Flash" Davis-Welsh, a mainstay on the wing since Round 3, is poised to reclaim her spot, sending Olympian Dominique "The Machine" du Toit to the bench after a brief hiatus.
Herman is keeping the faith in his pack, eyeing a triumph over the third-placed Brisbane bunch at Cbus Super Stadium to maintain their grip on the minor premiership race.
The action gets underway at high noon, with coverage blasting across Nine, Nine Now, Foxtel, and Kayo.
Time to shake the dust off those boots and show 'em what the Sharks are made of!
