The Knights will have the return of Tex Hoy in the fullback role, along with Phoenix Crossland and Jayden Brailey to bolster their squad.

They will also see the return of Tyson Frizell to the starting line-up, who is keen to make an impact after missing last week's game.

Knights coach Adam O'Brien will be hoping that the return of these key players will provide the spark needed to secure a win against the Sharks.

On the other side, the Sharks will see the return of halfback Matt Moylan after missing the last two games due to a calf injury.

He will be a welcomed addition to the team alongside the likes of Briton Nikora and Teig Wilton, who have also been named to start.

Coach Josh Hannay will be sticking with the same 17 players who secured a win against the Dragons last week, showing faith in the team to continue their winning form.

The Sharks will be looking to capitalize on their recent form and secure another two points to solidify their spot in the top eight.

With Moylan back in the line-up and the team gelling well together, they will be a tough challenge for the Knights at home.

Knights coach Adam O'Brien acknowledged the challenge that the Sharks pose, stating, "They're a quality team with plenty of strike power across the park.

We will need to be at the best defensively to contain them and execute the game plan effectively."

Meanwhile, Sharks coach Josh Hannay is confident in his team's ability to perform, saying, "We have been building some momentum in recent weeks and it will be important to continue that against a tough Knights outfit.

We need to stick to the structures and play disciplined football to come away with the win."

Both teams will be eager to secure the two points on offer and continue their push towards the finals.

The clash between the Knights and the Sharks promises to be a thrilling contest, with both sides fielding strong line-ups and aiming for victory.
