The last time these two sides met they couldn't be separated, leaving the field at Parramatta Stadium with a 30-30 draw.
And off the back of two narrow defeats in the last few weeks, Andrew Webster's charges will be looking to turn their round five draw into a victory over Cronulla at Sharks Stadium on Saturday night.
Without Takai Moeakiola named in Webster's 17 this week, barnstorming lock Joseph Ualesi has the opportunity to captain the Eels side a second time as the blue and gold looks to break a three match drought.
But in the Shire, the Cronulla NYC side is hoping to shake a far heavier monkey from its back: the young Sharks' last win was in round six, one of only two victories for the team in 2013.
