It can be confirmed that rookie half Kyle Flanagan will come into today's game in place of Matt Moylan in becoming the 524th Sharks first grade player.
Flanagan, son of coach Shane, has been a standout for the Newtown Jets in the Intrust Super Premiership in 2018 after a record-setting season in the Holden Cup last year. (CLICK HERE to see an interview with Kyle and Shane Flanagan).
The injury to Moylan isn't thought to be serious, with the Sharks five eighth hopeful of a return for his teams final round match next weekend.
