Cronulla's cavalry will start to return in Sunday afternoon's local derby against St George Illawarra, with Braydon Trindall, Teig Wilton, Kayal Iro and Tom Hazelton named to play at WIN Stadium.
However, winger Sione Katoa (concussion protocols) and forward Siosifa Talakai (calf tightness) have been sidelined for the vital clash in Wollongong.
Young flyer Sam Stonestreet has been recalled on the flank in Katoa's place, while second-rower Wilton's comeback from a hamstring issue offsets Talakai's absence.
Trindall, who also missed the past two games with a hamstring injury, has reclaimed the No.7 jersey, allowing Blayke Brailey to return to the hooking role.
Centre Iro and prop Hazelton sat out last week's win over the Knights with illness.
A bumper crowd is expected as the neighbouring clubs lock horns, with the Sharks fighting to secure a top-four spot and the Dragons hoping to bed down a finals berth.
Kick-off is at 4.05pm. Catch the action live on Nine, Nine Now, Foxtel and Kayo.
