The Sharks head into tonight's game against the Warriors without Origin rep Briton Nikora and Addin Fonua Blake, while Blayke Brailey and Nicho Hynes are both sidelined with injury.

In addition to those forced changes to the Sharks regular line up, Coach Craig Fitzgibbon has recalled Sione Katoa to play on the wing, in place of Sam Stonestreet, and has been the case when without skipper and hooker Brailey, Hohepa Puru has been promoted into the starting side to play dummy half.

With Puru coming into the run-on team, Jayden Berrell, selected in the nine jersey, goes back to the interchange bench.

From the 20-man squad as announced last night, Stonestreet drops out, leaving the Sharks with five forwards and outside back Mawene Hiroti on their six-man bench.

Kick off to tonight's game at Go Media Stadium is at 5.30pm Sydney time (7.30pm NZ time).

See below the two 19-man squads.
