In a crucial game that will determine a team's spot in the finals and potentially secure a position in the top six, the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks have made a significant change to their lineup.
Nicho Hynes, the Sharks' number seven, has been withdrawn from the originally selected team due to a minor quad issue.
However, it is expected that Hynes will be available for the team's last round match against the Canberra Raiders next Sunday.
Replacing Hynes in the starting side is Matt Moylan, who is making his return to the team.
Moylan will partner with Braydon Trindall in the halves, forming a formidable partnership.
This lineup change sees Moylan being promoted from the interchange to the run-on team, a testament to his skill and experience.
To accommodate Moylan's inclusion, young forward Jesse Colquhoun has been added to the 17-man squad.
Colquhoun will provide strength and energy to the team's forward pack, adding depth and versatility to the Sharks' lineup.
Mawene Hiroti has been named as the 18th man and concussion substitute, ready to step in if needed.
The Sharks' clash against the Newcastle Knights is set to kick off at 4.05pm at McDonald Jones Stadium.
Both teams will be fighting for victory, knowing that a win will secure their place in the finals and potentially elevate them into the top six.
The stakes are high, and the Sharks will be looking to capitalize on their strong lineup and secure a crucial victory on the road.
