Wade Graham and Andrew Fifita have been named to return, while Paul Gallen is out due to a glut strain for the Sharks clash with the Storm on Saturday night.
Graham still has to overcome Wednesday night’s Origin encounter, however Fifita will be fit and raring to go in what will be his first match since playing the Raiders in round 14, as the Sharks look to turn around a recent run of poor form against the competition-leading Melbourne side.
In other Sharks team news, Kyle Flanagan has been selected in jersey 19 after escaping a suspension for an incident in the second half of the loss to the Broncos, while Aaron Woods shifts back to the bench to accommodate the return of Fifita.
The Sharks will head south on Friday ahead of the game on Saturday night which promises to be a huge occasion as Storm skipper Cameron Smith celebrates his 400th NRL match.
And on their arrival in Melbourne on Friday, the Sharks Melbourne supporters will be given the opportunity to meet the team. The special meet and greet will take place at 5.00pm at the Pullman Melbourne on the Park and is open to all Sharks Members and fans.
The Sharks v Storm match is scheduled for a 7.30pm kick off on Saturday night at AAMI Park, with the Sharks 21-man squad listed below.
