NRL Late Mail: Round 25

Dragons v Sharks, Sunday 4.05pm at WIN Stadium

Dragons: Raymond Faitala-Mariner has again been ruled out with Michael Molo joining the bench when the squad was trimmed to 19 players on Saturday. Molo has reverted to 18th man on game day, with last week's debutant Lyhkan King-Togia set for his second NRL match. Coach Shane Flanagan has also reshuffled the pack with Ryan Couchman to start in the back row and Blake Lawrie at prop, and Luciano Leilua and Jack de Belin to start the match on the interchange.

Sharks: Ronaldo Mulitalo is a late withdrawal after a flare-up of his knee injury, with Mawene Hiroti elevated from the reserves to start on the wing. Braydon Trindall is back on deck from a shoulder injury at halfback so Blayke Brailey returns to hooker and Cameron McInnes to lock. Kayal Iro returns in the centres after missing last week's game due to illness while forwards Teig Wilton (hamstring) and Tom Hazelton (illness) are also back on deck. Centre Siosifa Talakai has been ruled out due to calf tightness. There were no further changes in Sunday's team update with Chris Vea'ila the 18th man.
