Josh Dugan is poised to end a two-month wait and return from a leg injury after being named in Cronulla’s squad for Sunday’s NRL clash with Manly.

Dugan has been named 18th man with Valentine Holmes still at fullback after overcoming leg stress fractures suffered eight weeks ago while Sharks co-captain Wade Graham (groin) also returns.

Meanwhile, Ryan Matterson has pipped Sean O’Sullivan to be named at five-eighth for Sydney Roosters’ Saturday night clash with North Queensland, replacing Luke Keary (knee).
