Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has finalized his squad of 19 players for the game against the Rabbitohs, with Billy Burns, Mawene Hiroti, and Niwhai Puru dropping off the bench.
The trio will instead be playing for the Newtown Jets in the NSW Cup game.
Hohepa Puru has been named as the 18th man.
Halfback Nicho Hynes is confirmed to be starting after recovering from a corked leg.
Fitzgibbon mentioned in a media conference that "There are no major changes 24 hours from kick off" and emphasized the significance of the upcoming matches at Sharks Stadium.
The day will kick off with Jersey Flegg and NSW Cup games before the NRL fixture at 3pm.
