Sharks Jersey Flegg coach Andrew Dallalana has named his squad for Sunday's major semi-final against the Storm at Leichhardt Oval.
Having finished the regular season in third before defeating the fourth-placed Raiders 16-12 last week, Cronulla will face minor premiers Melbourne for a place in the grand final. The loser will have a second chance to reach the under-21 decider, playing the winner of the Canberra-Penrith clash in a preliminary final.
With the Newtown Jets now eliminated from the NSW Cup playoffs, halfback Riley Pollard will return to Flegg level in a playmaking boost for the Sharks. Bryce Sait is the unlucky man to miss out after wearing the No.7 jersey against the Raiders.
Second-rower Dylan Coutts will also drop back from Newtown duties, bumping Joe Nadenic to the interchange and Cruz Devine to the reserves list.
NRL squad member Michael Gabrael was deemed ineligible for selection having only played one Flegg game this year. Under NSWRL rules, a player must have featured in at least eight matches throughout the season to be eligible for the finals.
Kick-off on Sunday is set for 11am.
