The Storm will be out for revenge after a Round 11 defeat at the hand of the Sharks when the two teams meet again at AAMI Park on Sunday.
Back in Round 11, Cronulla upset the Storm 31-26, but having lost three of their past four games, they’ll need to turn things around sharply if they’re going to defeat the Storm in Melbourne.

The Sharks were considered premiership hopes pre-season, but more than halfway into the season and they sit outside the top eight.
Melbourne meanwhile are sitting comfortably in the top four (3rd).
Xavier Coates is a big in for the Storm while Oregon Kaufusi is the only change for a Sharks team which lost to the Broncos last weekend.
