but

Cronulla Sharks website has Tagataese starting with Bukuya on the bench


Don't know which is right.............................................

Now the club website agrees with NRL.com so this is the Sharks side.........................


Sharks:

1 Ben Barba
2 Sosaia Feki
3 Jack Bird

5 Valentine Holmes
6 James Maloney
7 Chad Townsend
16 Matt Prior

Interchange:
14 Rory Kostjasyn
15 John Asiata
16 Scott Bolton
17 Ben Hannant


15 Atalani Asiata is what NRL.com has listed on the bench. I assume that is John Asiata.

Tony Williams is out for the Bulldogs with a hamstring injury, replaced on the bench by Danny Fualalo.

1 Will Hopoate
2 Brett Morrs
3 Josh Morris
4 Curtis Rona
5 Sam Perrett

Wayne Bennett has made two changes with Alex Glenn starting in the centres, pushing Tom Opacic back to the bench, while Jarrod Wallace starts in the second tow with Joe Ofahengaue coming on to the bench. Herman Ese'ese drops out of the side.

Broncos:

1 Darius Boyd
2 Corey Oates
11 Alex Glenn
4 James Roberts
5 Lachlan Maranta
6 Anthony Milford
7 Ben Hunt
8 Josh McGuire
9 Andrew McCullough
10 Adam Blair
14 Jarrod Wallace
12 Sam Thaiday
13 Corey Parker

Interchange:
3 Tom Opacic
15 Tevita Pangai Junior
16 Jai Arrow
18 Joe Ofahengaue

Now the Broncos website is saying that Adam Blair is in the back row.

ADAM Blair will move to the back row for tonight’s clash with the Penrith Panthers at Suncorp Stadium.
It will be an unusual switch for the Kiwi Test prop, who has spent the majority of his career in the front row.
But Blair did plays some back row early in his career at the Melbourne Storm, including starting there in the 2009 NRL Grand Final.
It will largely mean defending just a little wider, with move coming to cover the slotting of Alex Glenn to the centres.
Glenn will start in the centres with rookie Tom Opacic to come off the bench.
Jarrod Wallace will start in Blair’s regular spot in the front row.

The Panthers will start with Suaia Matagi at prop with Reagan Campbell-Gillard out of the side.

Panthers:

1 Matt Moylan
2 Josh Mansour
3 Waqa Blake
4 Tyrone Peachey
5 Dallin Watene Zelezniak
6 Bryce Cartwright

Sharks Coach Shane Flanagan has named his final side to take to Southern Cross Group Stadium against the Knights this afternoon.

Picking up a groin strain in the side's Round 19 win over the Roosters on Monday, James Maloney will not play against the Knights, with Nu Brown set to fill in at five-eighth in his absence.

Maloney - having scored 20 points aginst the Knights when the sides last met in Round 10 - won't take to the field this afternoon, with the coaching and physical performance staff at the Club erring on the side of caution with the fitness of the star pivot.

In other team news, Matt Prior will start the match in jersey 16, while Sam Tagataese reverts to the interchange bench.
