The Brisbane Broncos and Cronulla Sharks are out to put on a show in the Sunday afternoon sunshine when the two sides clash at Suncorp Stadium.
Brisbane secured a dominant win over the Titans in Round 14 before having the bye last weekend and they're eager to hit the ground running in their return to the field.
Reece Walsh shapes a pivotal figure in Sunday's contest and is set to engage in a mouth-watering battle with Cronulla fullback Will Kennedy.
The Sharks returned to form with a victory over local rivals St George Illawarra last weekend, with winger Sione Katoa scoring a double.
Superstar props Addin Fonua-Blake and Payne Haas are also set to go head-to-head if the latter backs up following Wednesday night's State of Origin clash.

Broncos: Forward leaders Pat Carrigan and Payne Haas have been named to back up four days after they go toe-to-toe in Origin Two. Back-rower Jack Gosiewski returns after an extended absence with a fractured arm and takes over from Ben Te Kura, who had surgery last week on a syndesmosis injury. Ben Hunt (hamstring) remains sidelined. Selwyn Cobbo has been listed among the reserves as he looks to break back into the side after two weeks in Queensland Cup. No changes in Saturday's 24-hour update with Tyson Smoothy and Deine Mariner retained in the squad.
Sharks: A change on Saturday with Oregon Kaufusi (hamstring tightness) replaced in the starting side by Braden Hamlin-Uele with Hohepa Puru added to the bench. Siosifa Talakai moves to the centres to replace Mawene Hiroti (calf) and Daniel Atkinson joins the bench. Billy Burns is 18th man.
