A frustrating postponement of their match against Manly yesterday has the NYC Sharks fresh, keen and raring to go for their next assignment when they host the Melbourne Storm on Monday night.
Predicted wet weather forced Manly and their local council partners to cancel the round three match, disappointing coach John Morris and his under-20’s team, especially considering their confident frame of mind after starting the 2016 season with two consecutive victories.
Due to the weekend off Morris has been able to name the same team which had been selected for the Manly match, a side that has just one new face in winger Josh Tuilagi.
A big strapping outside back, Tuilagi replaces a player of similar build in Semesi Vea who has a foot injury and is likely to miss up to a month of football.
Morris has named 18 players, with a decision as to the final make-up of his team to be made closer to Monday's game.
The Sharks and Storm clash is scheduled for a 4.45pm kick off at Southern Cross Group Stadium.
