Happy Friday! We start our Friday double header south of the border! Premiers Melbourne Storm host the embattled Cronulla Sharks in a clash which is always fiery.

Tom Eisenhuth initally named in the centres goes to bench, youngster Dean Ieremia debuts on the wing with Reimis Smith moving to centre. Tui Kamikamica goes to the bench with Ryley Jacks the 18th man. Now for the Sharks. Will Chambers makes his club debut against his former club.

Sit back, relax and enjoy the story of this contest while you get to the bottom of your bottle.
