A third successive victory, and an impressive one at that against a fellow Finals contender in the Cowboys, has the Sharks primed for what shapes as a blockbuster clash with the Knights on Sunday.
In a match to be played in the hostile environment of McDonald Jones Stadium in Newcastle, a win for the Sharks, against a team sitting just one point behind them on the premiership ladder, will confirm a place in the upcoming Finals series.
Predictably, following the win in Townsville, the Sharks have named the same line up to tackle the Knights, with no injuries reported from the game last weekend.
And while the Sharks head to Newcastle on the back of a three-game winning streak, the Knights have also enjoyed a successful run of late, having won seven games in a row heading into Sunday’s contest.
The Sharks v Knights game is scheduled for a 4.05pm kick-off, with the NRLW Sharks also in action when they also play Newcastle as the lead in match to the NRL fixture.
