The withdrawal of Matt Moylan, as indicated by the Sharks fullback dropping out of the 19-man squad which was trimmed last night from the originally named 21, has forced something of a backline reshuffle for the game against the Storm at AAMI Park tonight.
Moylan's hamstring issue and his unavailability means Josh Dugan shifts to the fullback position, with Josh Morris moving from wing to centre. Aaron Gray goes into the Sharks starting side where he is likely to line up on the left wing.
The other change which became obvious following Wednesday's State of Origin match, see Wade Graham replaced by Kurt Capewell in the Sharks starting side.
Coming onto the interchange bench for Capewell will be young hooker Blayke Brailey.

Sharks winger Aaron Gray, after being one of his team's best in their loss to the Storm last week, has returned home early from New Zealand and will miss the match against the Warriors at Westpac Stadium later tonight.
Gray succumbed to a nagging knee problem and was due to see a specialist in Sydney to have the issue assessed.
In his place comes promising youngster Ronaldo Mulitalo, with the recent Queensland under-20's rep to take Gray's place on the left wing.
