Sharks second-rower Rhiannon Byers will push for a late-season return after being sidelined by a pectoral injury.
Byers, who has played 14 games for Cronulla including last year’s grand final, suffered the injury against the Cowboys in Round 3.
The hard-working forward joins Filomina Hanisi in being ruled out long term after the prop ruptured her ACL in the opening game against Parramatta.
