The Sharks have locked up a spot in the top eight and a win over the red-hot Knights will ensure a home final, unfortunately they will have to do it without the injured Nicho Hynes.
Hynes suffered a quad injury during a training session this week and was ruled out, but coach Craig Fitzgibbon is confident the Dally M medallist will return in Round 27.
After hitting a flat spot in the middle part of the season, the Sharks have bounced back to form with three straight wins.

The Knights meanwhile are absolutely flying and winners of their last seven. The last time they achieved that feat (2001), they won the premiership.
Jackson Hastings will miss his second straight week with an ankle injury despite being named. Adam Clune will take his place again.
Knights forwards Lachlan Fitzgibbon (shoulder) and Kurt Mann have also been omitted with Dylan Lucas and Brodie Jones the new additions.
In Hynes’ absence, Matt Moylan will start at five-eighth alongside the in-form Braydon Trindall, with Jesse Colquhoun promoted to the bench from the reserves.
