Cronulla lock Greg Bird pulled out of a training session yesterday due to a gastro bug. However, officials remain confident he will play Melbourne on Sunday.
Prop Ben Ross, who was concussed last Saturday night against Manly, will travel with the team and is almost certain to play the premiers. Second-rower Ryan Hoffman is in doubt for Melbourne with an abdominal injury, with Antonio Kaufusi on stand-by.
