The Sharks will be looking to build on their round one victory when they take on the Bulldogs this weekend, with Hamlin-Uele a chance to add some extra grunt to their forward pack.
On the other hand, the Bulldogs will need to regroup quickly after Addo-Carr's injury setback, as they look to bounce back from their disappointing performance against the Eels.
The clash between these two sides always promises to be a physical contest, with both teams known for their tough, hard-hitting style of play.
Historically, the Sharks have had the wood over the Bulldogs in recent encounters, but this season could see a shift in momentum as both teams look to make a statement early on.
With Hamlin-Uele potentially returning and Addo-Carr sidelined, it will be interesting to see how both teams adjust their game plans in this crucial early-season match-up.
