The return of Sosaia Feki on the wing is the only potential change to the Sharks team to take on the Gold Coast Titans in game one the NRL’s Magic Round to be played at Suncorp Stadium this weekend.
The Sharks and Titans play the first of eight matches to be contested in Brisbane, with the clash scheduled for a 7.50pm kick-off on Thursday night.
With Feki included in the Sharks 17, after he was forced to pull out with a leg injury following the teams’ final training session last week, Sione Katoa has been moved back to an extended reserves bench, Aaron Gray retaining his place in the run on side.
Sharks coach John Morris has again opted to play Josh Dugan at fullback, with youngster Kyle Flanagan retaining the number six jersey.
Following a stirring victory over Melbourne last Friday night, the Sharks will be keen to back up that performance with a win over the Titans to consolidate their place inside the top eight.
The Sharks 21-man squad for the game on Thursday night, is listed below.
