After a strong win in Townsville, the Sharks are set to take an unchanged team into a blockbuster opening home game against the Rabbitohs on Saturday afternoon.
Coach Craig Fitzgibbon has entrusted the 17 players who defeated the Cowboys 36-12 to do the job again this weekend at Sharks Stadium.
Prop Tuku Hau Tapuha has retained his place on the bench, with fellow front-rower Tom Hazelton (back soreness) left out of the 22-man squad.
A capacity crowd is expected for the Round 3 clash as the Sharks aim to snap South Sydney's perfect start to the season under Wayne Bennett.
It's bound to be a memorable day at Sharks Stadium with Jersey Flegg and Knock-On Effect NSW Cup matches preceding the 3pm NRL fixture.

The match will be broadcast on Fox League and Kayo.
