Last updated:
Sea Eagles: No late changes for Manly on game day. Tom Trbojevic's hamstring injury has prompted a minor backline reshuffle, with Tolu Koula slotting into the No.1 jumper. Clayton Faulalo will line up in the centres as a result. Emerging centre Josh Feledy could make his second appearance of the year after coming on to the six-man bench. Jake Trbojevic will play in his 100th game at 4 Pines Park. Centre Reuben Garrick has scored 13 tries in 14 games against the Eels. No changes in Saturday's 24-hour update with Nathan Brown and Joey Walsh dropping out. Jackson Shereb was the last player to come out of the side on Sunday.
Eels: A late switch with Jack de Belin into the starting side and Dylan Walker shifting to the bench. Centre Sean Russell and back-rower Kelma Tuilagi complete their returns from concussions and will take their place in the team. Eels winger Josh Addo-Carr has scored four tries in his last five games.
