The Sharks website, sharks.com.au, has reported that the team will face some challenges in their upcoming match against the Panthers.
With the late withdrawal of Ronaldo Mulitalo, the season-ending injury to Dale Finucane, and the one-week suspension of Jesse Colquhoun, the Sharks' task has become more difficult.
However, the team remains determined to restore their pride and bounce back from their recent losses.
In their last match against the Sea Eagles, the Sharks had a slow start but made a strong comeback in the second half.
Despite their efforts, they fell short of a victory.
Now, they face the reigning premiers and current ladder leaders, the Panthers.
Coach Craig Fitzgibbon recognizes the importance of his team being at their best if they want to achieve a positive result.
Although the loss last weekend was disappointing and has put the Sharks in a precarious position in terms of the top eight and the upcoming NRL Finals, Fitzgibbon is focused on the immediate task at hand - the game against the Panthers on Saturday night.
