In a tale as old as time, the Sharks are gearing up to face off against the Broncos in what promises to be a colossal showdown.
With the Sharks coming off the back of two disappointing losses, they are in desperate need of a turnaround to regain their winning form that saw them dominate the competition for seven consecutive victories.
However, the road to redemption won't be easy for the Sharks, who have seen a sharp decline in their defensive prowess after conceding a whopping 106 points in their past three matches.
This has seen them lose their grip on the top spot on the ladder, with Melbourne snatching it away on points differential.
In a strategic move, Sharks coach Craig Fitzgibbon has opted to rest key player Nicho Hynes after his gruelling Origin One performance.
This leaves the door open for Braydon Trindall and Daniel Atkinson to step up and redeem themselves after a lacklustre showing against the Eels.
On the other side of the field, the Broncos are faced with their own challenges as they navigate the aftermath of Origin One.
With Payne Haas, Pat Carrigan, Reece Walsh, and Selwyn Cobbo all involved in the representative clash, coach Kevin Walters must make some tough decisions regarding player fatigue and performance.
The return of star centre Kotoni Staggs from a rib injury is a timely boost for the Broncos, who are looking to bounce back after a narrow defeat to the Titans in their last outing.
With a bye in Round 13 to rest and rejuvenate, the Broncos will be looking to come out swinging against the Sharks in a bid to reignite their season.
As the two teams prepare to face off in what is sure to be a fierce battle, only time will tell who will emerge victorious on the hallowed grounds of Suncorp Stadium.
Get ready for a clash of titans, as the Sharks and Broncos go head to head in an epic showdown that is not to be missed.
