In what promises to be an enthralling clash, the Sharks will kick off their Pre-Season Challenge campaign against the Knights this Saturday.
With a squad boasting a mix of seasoned campaigners and promising rookies, the Sharks will be looking to make a statement at Gosford's Industree Group Stadium.
Led by lock Cameron McInnes, who has proven his worth in the NRL, the Sharks have named a 26-man squad that includes 14 players with top-level experience.
However, due to the absence of some big names, including Nicho Hynes and Braydon Trindall, the young guns will have their chance to shine.
One player to watch out for is Kade Dykes, who returns to the field after a lengthy injury layoff.
Alongside him, winger Sam Stonestreet and centre Kayal Iro will be eager to make their mark and earn an NRL debut.
With Niwhai Puru and Daniel Atkinson steering the ship, the Sharks will be looking to overcome the absence of their Indigenous All Stars duo in Hynes and Trindall.
It's a battle of talent and determination as these two teams clash in what is set to be a thrilling encounter.
Expect fireworks as the Sharks and Knights lock horns in their Pre-Season Challenge showdown.
