The Sharks will runout 1-17 for today's vital clash with the Raiders in front of a sell-out crowd at PointsBet Stadium today.

The game, which marks the final PointsBet Stadium appearance in the career of skipper Paul Gallen, could see the Sharks take another step towards securing a finals berth.

In confirming the team which was announced on Tuesday, Josh Dugan will again play fullback after last week putting in a best-on-ground performance in the Sharks win over the Warriors and with Sosaia Feki ruled out with a groin strain, Sione Katoa comes in on the wing for the Cronulla side.

On the interchange bench, due to Jack Williams being unavailable with an ankle problem, the reliable and consistent Jayson Bukuya has been elevated into the Sharks 17.

The game will see a number of celebrations in farewelling Gallen, the Sharks most capped player, with a 13th minute round of applause, Gal face masks for the first 5,000 patrons to enter the ground and a post-match presentation in celebrating his outstanding 19-season career.

The Sharks and Raiders clash kicks off at 2.00pm at PointsBet Stadium.
