This round 13 match features the Sharks against the Sea Eagles at Ocean Protect Stadium, highlighting mental health awareness.
Cam McInnes will celebrate his 100th game with the Sharks, while teammate Niwhai Puru steps onto the NRL field for the first time.
Adding to the evening's atmosphere, Don Rogers will perform a tribute single for his late parents, including Sharks legend Steve Rogers, enhancing the match's rivalry.
The teams will compete for the Steve Rogers Memorial Trophy, honoring the memorable Sharks player.
For McInnes, who has previously missed reaching 100 games, this milestone is particularly significant, especially knowing he'll move to the UK Superleague next season.
Coach Craig Fitzgibbon is a strong supporter of McInnes, who will be the Sharks' 80th player to reach this milestone.
Remarkably, 48 of McInnes's games have been played as captain.
While McInnes faces a strong Sea Eagles side, the NRL is a new experience for Puru, the twin brother of Sharks player Hohepa.
Puru joined the Sharks in 2023 after rising through the Penrith junior ranks, where he played with Dolphins halfback Isaiya Katoa.
