Toby Rudolf will miss the Sharks match up with the Melbourne Storm this weekend after suffering a knee injury in the local derby clash against the Dragons.
Rudolf injured the medial ligament in his knee during his 33-minute stint on Sunday, with an estimated recovery and return to play timeline of around four weeks.
Rudolf’s absence will provide opportunity for the likes of Tuku Hau Taphua or Royce Hunt to take his place in the Sharks forward pack for Saturday night’s game.
The NRL team list will be released at 4pm today, with the Sharks playing the Storm at AAMI Park in Melbourne on Saturday, kicking off at 7.30pm.
In other Sharks injury news, young forward Jesse Colquhoun continues his recovery from a foot injury and is moving closer to a return, while an elbow issue kept hooker Jayden Berrell from taking his place in the Newtown Jets team last week.
