Team List: NRL Round 9 v Cronulla Sharks

Coming off the back of a convincing 33-14 ANZAC Round victory over the Raiders at Leichhardt Oval, the Tigers are sitting in third place on the competition ladder ahead of their trip to Cronulla. 

There are two changes to the forward pack, with Tristan Hope and Tony Sukkar suiting up for the first time in 2026. 

Hope replaces Api Koroisau, who will sit out the next three matches due to suspension.

Tony Sukkar will be wearing the #12 jersey in place of Kai Pearce-Paul, who is unavailable due to HIA protocols.

There has been a small shuffle to the backline, with Jeral Skelton starting on the wing and Sunia Turuva moving to fullback, stepping in for the injured Jahream Bula.
