Sea Eagles: Jake Trbojevic (hip) and Josh Aloiai (wrist) have passed fitness tests and been ruled fit to play.

Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans are good to go after being rested last week.

Sea Eagles coach Des Hasler opted for Toafofoa Sipley to start last week with Taniela Paseka adding impact from the bench and could do so again this match. 

Moses Suli is 18th man, with Jack Gosiewski omitted an hour before kick-off. Cade Cust and Kurt De Luis were the two players to drop out 24 hours before the game.

The Sea Eagles have scored an average of 44 points per game since Round 14.

Wests Tigers: Alex Twal is out of the Wests Tigers team, with Alex Seyfarth taking his place on the bench.

Twal failed a HIA in the win over Brisbane and needed to undergo concussion protocols during the week.

Moses Mbye (ankle) remains in the squad.

There are no other concerns for the joint venture after Michael Maguire named the same 17 that got the job done against Brisbane last week.

Talau's centre partner Junior Pauga gets a start after scoring a try on debut while it's no surprise that Adam Doueihi will again wear No.6.

Michael Chee Kam is the 18th man, with Shawn Blore dropping out of the squad on game day.  Along with Twal, Jake Simpkin was left out 24 hours before kick-off.

Wests Tigers have won five of their past seven games against the Sea Eagles.

Last updated:

Bulldogs: Just one change to the 17, with Renouf Atoni moving from the reserves list to the interchange. Falakiko Manu will be the 18th man.

Dummy-half Jeremy Marshall-King returns from suspension and a reshuffle in the pack sees Ava Seumanufagai promoted from the interchange to start in the front row with Luke Thompson switching to lock and Josh Jackson to the second row.

Joe Stimson is the new face on the bench. Ofahiki Ogden and Kyle Flanagan were omitted from the extended bench 24 hours before kick-off.

The Bulldogs can achieve two wins in a season against the Sharks for the first time since 2004.

Sharks: Teig Wilton is out. Briton Nikora starts with Andrew Fifita joining the bench. Jonaiah Lualua was the other player omitted from the squad on Saturday.

Billy Magoulias will be the 18th man for Cronulla.

Royce Hunt is on track to play his first game of the season in a timely return from a knee injury with experienced prop Aiden Tolman accepting a one-match ban this week.

Toby Rudolf moves from lock to replace Tolman in the front row with Jack Williams promoted to the starting side.

The Sharks have won six of their past eight games against the Bulldogs.
