The Sharks have named an unchanged starting 13 to take on the Rabbitohs at Ocean Protect Stadium this Sunday.

Some bad luck for Hohepa Puru, though, after a nasty concussion in the Sharks' 48-12 win over Manly on the weekend.

The reliable hooker/prop has been a mainstay for Cronulla over the last 10 weeks but should be available again for selection in round 23.

NRL 134-gamer Braden Uele has been named on the extended bench and could play his first game for the Sharks since round 4.

Uele returned from a knee injury for Cronulla's feeder team Newtown in their last two Knock-On Effect NSW Cup matches and started in the front row alongside Toby Rudolf on Sunday.

Rudolf is also coming back from a knee injury and will be given another week in Cup to get more minutes under his belt.

The Sharks will celebrate Member Appreciation Round on Sunday, with members getting exclusive access to game-day events and the chance to watch the team train at captain's run on Saturday.

The club is offering a Sunday Fun-Pass for the Rabbitohs clash, which gets you into the game, makes you a member and gives you access to exclusive merch.

The Sharks will run out in this year's Heritage jersey, with kick-off at 2:00pm at Ocean Protect Stadium, Sydney.
