Last week it was Wade Graham, this this time around the Sharks welcome back Kiwi international Shaun Johnson for their round 14 clash against the Canberra Raiders.
Missing since injuring his hamstring in Brisbane against the Broncos back in round seven, Johnson returns to a Cronulla side which has won two on the trot, looking to make it three tonight and has steadily built some momentum in recent times.
Johnson comes into the side in place of youngster Kyle Flanagan, who can consider himself somewhat unlucky after playing strongly in his teammates absence.
Other than the Johnson inclusion, the Sharks will run out as named by coach John Morris on Tuesday, with Josh Morris back after missing the Sharks win over the Eels due to being rested following the State of Origin match.
Where Morris will play remains somewhat of an unknown, with the NSW centre playing on the left hand side for the Sharks through the early part of the season but on the right side for the Blues in Origin game one.
With Morris back in the side, Josh Dugan has been moved to the wing.
Graham, after getting through more than 30-minutes in his first game back since undergoing a knee reconstruction, will again begin the game from the interchange bench.
The Sharks and Raiders face off as two of the inform teams at the present time, the Cronulla side coming into the game on the back of wins over the Dragons and Eels, the Raiders following a 28-0 thumping of the Wests Tigers and a narrow win over the Bulldogs at their previous two outings.
The Sharks team for the game which kicks off at 7.50pm, is listed below.
