SUTHERLAND Sharks have been strengthened for their sudden-death Premier League finals clash with Sydney Olympic today.
David Reid will be back from injury and veteran defender George Souris has also been named.
Souris suffered ankle ligament damage in the final game of the season proper, against Wollongong, almost four weeks ago and his fitness will be re-checked this week.
The NSW Football Association bowed to the wishes of the Sharks in setting the final for Saturday (7.30pm) at Seymour Shaw Park, Miranda.
A second final in a row on their artificial grass surface should give Sutherland an advantage, but they know they've been beaten by Olympic this year.
``Olympic won't be any easier to beat than Wollongong,'' said Sharks coach Brian Brown, who desperately wants another chance to even the score against the Wolves in Sunday week's grand final, after the Wolves won 2-1 in extra time last Sunday.
