Timestamp: Thu 7 Jul 2022, 06:48 PM

The Sharks have reported no further Covid issues following the withdrawal of Nicho Hynes and Toby Rudolf after the pair recorded positive PCR tests during the week.

With the withdrawal of Hynes, Braydon Trindall comes into the Sharks side where he will partner Matt Moylan in the halves.

In the forwards, Andrew Fifita has been elevated into the starting side in the front row, with Braden Hamlin-Uele, in his first game since round six, named on the interchange bench.

In the only other change to the team which recorded a third consecutive win with a victory over the Bulldogs last weekend, Connor Tracey returns in the centres in place of Siosifa Talakai who is on State of Origin duty with the NSW squad.

In the match which gets underway at 7.50pm at PointsBet Stadium, the Sharks will be aiming to consolidate a top four position with a win over the second-placed Storm.

For Melbourne, they have also been affected by Origin, with Harry Grant and Cameron Munster in camp with the Queensland team and unavailable for tonight's match.

See below the two 17-man team lists, as well as the 18th player concussion substitute, with young forward Jesse Colquhoun to fill that role tonight.
