The Sharks will face their fourth top four contender in succession when they host Souths in a round 20 match up at PointsBet Stadium on Saturday.
While the Sharks had a five-game winning streak snapped by a 20-10 loss to the Panthers, the Rabbitohs were continuing their recent run of good form with a win over the Storm, setting up an exciting clash this weekend.
The Sharks have included Dale Finucane in the team to tackle Souths, pending his judiciary hearing later tonight, with coach Craig Fitzgibbon naming an unchanged line-up ahead of Saturday’s game.
In challenging a dangerous contact charge, Finucane could miss up to three games if unsuccessful with his not guilty plea.
The Sharks v Souths match is already a sell-out this weekend, with all tickets sold some five days ahead of the game.
The match is scheduled for a 5.30pm kickoff at PointsBet Stadium, with the two teams listed below.
