Sharks coach Tony Herman has announced his 21-player squad for the NRLW Round 2 match against the Raiders at GIO Stadium.
After a tough 18-16 loss to the Eels in their season opener, Cronulla will retain the same starting 13 players for this upcoming clash.
Notably, 20-year-old forward Stephanie Faulkner will make her NRLW debut, stepping in for prop Filomina Hanisi, who sustained a season-ending ACL injury.
Faulkner, a junior from Cronulla Caringbah, was named the 2023 Sharks Female Junior Representative Player of the Year and recently scored twice in a win over Parramatta in the Harvey Norman NSW Women's Premiership.
The kick-off for the match is scheduled for 12.45 PM on Saturday, and fans can watch live on 9, 9Now, Foxtel, and Kayo.
