The Sharks are gearing up for a crucial clash against the Dragons in the local derby this Sunday, and their reinforcements are starting to trickle in like a cavalry charge.
Braydon Trindall, Teig Wilton, Kayal Iro, and Tom Hazelton have all been named to take the field at WIN Stadium.
Unfortunately, winger Sione Katoa and forward Siosifa Talakai have been ruled out of the game due to concussion protocols and calf tightness, respectively.
Young gun Sam Stonestreet will step in for Katoa on the wing, while Wilton's return from a hamstring injury will help fill the void left by Talakai.
Trindall, who has been sidelined with a hamstring injury for the past two games, will reclaim the No.7 jersey, allowing Blayke Brailey to shift back to his hooking role.
Centre Iro and prop Hazelton, who missed last week's game due to illness, will also make their return to the lineup.
With a bumper crowd expected for this highly anticipated showdown, both teams will be looking to stake their claim in the top-four race.
The Sharks will be fighting tooth and nail to secure their spot, while the Dragons will be hoping to solidify their position in the finals race.
It's sure to be a battle for the ages, reminiscent of the epic clashes of Rugby League history.
