The Sharks and Knights have met three times &#8211; they have never combined for more than 37 points. The Sharks are missing Emma Verran to pregnancy while the Knights have lost key halfback Jess Southwell. Kira Dibb is a strong replacement but with Sheridan Gallagher also departing, the attack is going to take time for Newcastle. Ellie Johnston is an elite tryscoring prop with 13 tries in 33 games for the Sharks.
