The Sharks are 1-17 for this afternoon's elimination finals match against the Raiders at GIO Stadium with just one alteration to the starting line up.
Coach John Morris has decided to include hard-running back rower Siosifa Talakai in his run on side, with the experienced Aaron Woods reverting to the interchange bench.
Talakai was one of a number of players to sit out the round 20 clash with the Raiders, along with the likes of Toby Rudolf, Blayke Brailey, Josh Dugan and Jesse Ramien, with all fit and fresh and ready for the sudden-death encounter.
Conditions in Canberra were dry and sunny, with a fast track and open game expected.
See the two teams listed below, with the game to get underway at 5.40pm.
