While losing Nicho Hynes and Cameron McInnes to Origin duties, the Sharks will welcome back several players for Thursday night's Round 13 game against the Eels at CommBank Stadium.
Props Toby Rudolf and Braden Hamlin-Uele are set to return from injuries on the interchange, with Tuku Hau Tapuha shifting to the reserves.
Braydon Trindall is named at halfback in place of Hynes. Trindall, who hasn't played since Round 7, had a driving incident settled in court this morning and is free to return to the field.
In other team news, second-rower Teig Wilton will captain the side in McInnes' absence while Jack Williams has been promoted to the starting lock role.
Kick-off on Thursday is at 7.50pm, with coverage on Nine, Nine Now, Foxtel and Kayo. See the 22-man team list below.
