The Cronulla Sharks host the Newcastle Knights in round six of the NRL.
Where: Remondis Stadium, Cronulla
When: 12.00pm delayed Friday 10 April (7.35pm local)

The Knights suffered their first loss of the season last weekend to the Dragons and will want to get back to winning ways. In contrast, the Sharks finally broke their duck in 2015, against the Roosters, and will be on a high.

Cronulla will be hoping young Jack Bird can reproduce the kind of form he dished out in round five. Ben Barba returns for the Sharks on the bench in place of Tinirau Arona, who remains on the extended bench.
Jayson Bukuya has also been selected on a six-man bench after being dropped last week after failing to comply with the club’s conditioning standards.
For the Knights their forward pack has been reshuffled with Beau Scott out for a fortnight.
Chris Houston takes his position in the back row, David Fa’alogo takes Houston’s spot on the bench while Korbin Sims returns from suspension at prop.
