Two teams coming off disappointing last start losses come together on Sunday when the Sharks tackle the Storm on Sunday afternoon in a round 15 match up at AAMI Park in Melbourne.
On Saturday the Sharks went down to the Broncos in a bruising encounter, before the Storm were comprehensively beaten by the Cowboys a day later, with both teams desperate to bounce back and re-confirm their status as premiership contenders.
For the Sharks, Cam McInnes has been named on the interchange bench and is set to return after missing two games and three weeks with a thumb injury, in the only change to the team from the Broncos match.
With McInnes back on deck, Tom Hazelton has been pushed out of the 17 and is named on the extended reserves list, with halfback/utility Braydon Trindall 18th man.
The fourth placed Sharks, against a Storm team just one rung below them on the ladder, is scheduled for a 4.05pm kick-off at AAMI Park, with the two 22-man squads listed below.
