After their stirring victory over the Warriors at their last start it comes as no surprise the Sharks have named an unchanged line-up to take on the equal first placed Cowboys on Saturday.
The Sharks showed special defensive qualities in the win last weekend, with a similar effort needed this week if they hope to topple the North Queensland side for a second time in 2015.
Again Andrew and David Fifita are unavailable for selection, while Luke Lewis is set to spend another week on the sidelines as he continues his recovery from a knee injury suffered in the Bulldogs game a fortnight ago.
The Sharks v Cowboys clash, with celebrates Paul Gallen's passing the 250 NRL game milestone, is a part of Indigenous Round, with the Sharks to wear a specially-designed jersey to celebrate the occasion.
The Sharks also acknowledge Sutherland Heart Clinic as the match day sponsor.
The game kicks off at 5.30pm on Saturday, with the Sharks team listed below;
