The Sharks and Dragons both enjoyed a weekend off due to the bye and will be refreshed and ready to go come Sunday for the first local derby clash of the 2015 season.
In the match to be played at Kogarah Jubilee Oval, the Sharks have named a team with just one slight change to the side which managed a golden point win over the Titans at their last start.
In naming an 18-man squad forward Tinirau Arona is expected to return after missing the Gold Coast game with a hamstring strain, however after a strong outing for Newtown last weekend in the NSW Cup is fit and available for Sunday’s match.
In naming Arona in the 17-man squad the reliable Tim Robinson is now 18th man for the match at Kogarah with coach Shane Flanagan expected to finalise his team later in the week, also pending the availability of NSW Origin prop Andrew Fifita who will go around for the Blues in game one tomorrow night.
The Sharks V Dragons match on Sunday is scheduled for a 4.00pm kick-off.
