A hand injury will see Cameron McInnes sidelined for an extended period, however on a positive note the Sharks welcome back a key forward for their round 12 match against the Knights in Coffs Harbour on Saturday.
McInnes is set to miss up to four weeks after suffering a broken bone in his hand in the win over the Sea Eagles, although in lessening the blow somewhat, Oregon Kaufusi has been selected in the starting side and Braden Hamlin-Uele on the extended bench for the game to be played at the C. ex Coffs International Stadium.
Kaufusi has recovered from the virus which kept him out of the Manly game and goes into the starting front row, with Dale Finucane reverting to his more familiar lock position.
Hamlin-Uele has been named in jersey 20 as he continues his recovery from the knee issue which has seen him miss the last two matches. His status will be determined closer to game day.
Braydon Trindall has again been chosen as the Sharks utility option in jersey 14, with Daniel Atkinson, after a series of impressive performances for the Jets in the NSW Cup the 18th man.
Siosifa Talakai hasn’t been included in the 22-man squad with Sharks centre to miss a second game with the neck problem which saw him pull out of the Manly match late last week. Connor Tracey, one of the Sharks best in the win over the Sea Eagles, will again take over at left centre for the Sharks this weekend.
The Sharks v Knights match is scheduled for a 3.00pm kick off at the C.ex Coffs International Stadium on Saturday.
