The Sharks play host to the Titans in a standalone clash on Saturday at PointsBet Stadium with Tony Herman's side looking to bounce back after their first lost in NRLW history.
Cronulla weren't at their best against a Wests Tigers side who defended their way to a 10-point win and will want to get back to their attacking ways after a strong showing in Round 1 on home turf.
The Titans are two from two with Karyn Murphy's side enjoying their best start to an NRLW season since they came into the competition in 2021.
The Titans have never won three games straight in a record they'll want to eclipse in enemy territory as part of their first trip south to Sydney.

Team news
Sharks: Emma Tonegato is good to go despite picking up a calf injury last week. In the absence of Harata Butler (suspended), Chloe Saunders starts at prop and Fiona Jahnke joins the 17 on the bench. Holli Wheeler will make her way back from a knee injury via the interchange. The rest of the 17 is unchanged, but there are positional switches in the backline with Kiana Takairangi going to the wing and Annessa Biddle to centre.
Titans: Coach Karyn Murphy has made two forced changes to the team named on Tuesday, with winger Karina Brown in for Emily Bass and centre Jaime Chapman replaced in the side by Hailee-Jay Ormond-Maunsell, after the pair were unable to get through training this week due to injuries. After a strong NRLW debut last week Rilee Jorgensen moves back to the bench to accommodate the return of Zara Canfield in the second row. As was the case last week, Brittany Breayley-Nati comes in to start at hooker and Lauren Brown switches to the bench.
