Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has named a near-unchanged team for Saturday's massive qualifying final against the Storm at AAMI Park.
Front-rower Oregon Kaufusi is set to return to the run-on side after sitting out last week's win over the Sea Eagles for load management reasons.
Kaufusi's inclusion has pushed Royce Hunt back to the bench, with fellow prop Tom Hazelton moving to the extended interchange in jersey No.22.
Forward Braden Hamlin-Uele is listed as the 18th man.
Kick-off is at 4.05pm, with the winner earning a week off and a place in a preliminary final. The loser will face the Cowboys or Knights in a do-or-die clash.
Tickets are available HERE. Those watching from home can catch the game live on Nine, Nine Now, Kayo or Foxtel. See the 22-man team list below.
