Timestamp: Sat 24 Aug 2019, 02:08 PM

The Sharks will run out as selected for the game against the Warriors at PointsBet Stadium latter this afternoon.

Andrew Fifita returns, where he will play from the interchange bench, while the starting team is as selected for a game which has major finals implications for both clubs.

A win for the Sharks will keep them well and truly in the finals hunt, while a loss by the Warriors will kill off whatever faint playoff hopes they had just three weeks from the end of the regular season.

In other Sharks team news, Josh Dugan has been confirmed as fullback for today’s game, with Matt Moylan looking at perhaps two weeks on the sidelines due to a hamstring strain.

Josh Morris shifts into Dugan’s centre position, Ronaldo Mulitalo coming into the team on the wing.

In the forwards Matt Prior, playing his 250th NRL game, will lead the Sharks out in this his milestone match. Joining him in the Sharks front row will be Aaron Woods, with Fifita to enter the game from the interchange bench.

Blayke Brailey and Billy Magoulias have been omitted from the 19-player squad as named last night.

The Sharks and Warriors match kicks off at 3.00pm, with the final teams listed below.
