Earlier
Monday's clash will see Nicho Hynes and Dale Finucane in a Sharks jersey for the first time, with Braydon Trindall afforded another opportunity in the halves alongside him after a poor effort last week.
The Sharks appear to be relatively close to full strength, with Will Kennedy at the back, Connor Tracey in the centres, and Wade Graham, Jesse Ramien, Ronaldo Mulitalo and Blayke Brailey also playing their first game for the year.
The Canterbury side looks fairly similar to what will trot out in Round 1, with Matt Burton and Tevita Pangai Junior named to make their first starts for the club in the halves and second row respectively.
Burton will be joined in the halves by Jake Averillo, while Josh Addo-Carr, Matt Dufty, Brent Naden and Paul Vaughan are among the other recruits to be named. Jack Hetherington will play in the second row, with Josh Jackson at lock, while Brandon Wakeham, Kyle Flanagan and Josh Cook - in contention for spine positions - are on a long interchange bench and will get a chance at some point.

Braydon Trindall is suspended until round 3, so the obvious starter for rounds 1 and 2 would be Matt Moyland.
However, he isn’t even on the bench, (injured or dropped), so does that mean wunderkid Luke Metcalf is going to get the #7 spot for round 1 ?
