From the 'NRL 2025, Injuries, Suspension Return Dates, Casualty Ward and Key Information for the 2025 NRL Telstra Premiership Season' web page, Here is the Latest NRL Injured or Unavailable Update:

* * * (Updated: Friday, 30 May 2025) * * *

Manly superstar Tom Trbojevic will join brother Jake, prop Siua Taukeiaho and winger Jason Saab on the sidelines after being ruled out of Saturday’s match against the Broncos at 4 Pines Park.

'Turbo' has been playing with a corked thigh in recent weeks and aggravated the injury in last Friday’s loss to the Eels. The club announced in a statement that it was taking a conservative approach and would rest their star fullback this weekend.

Taukeiaho picked up a minor calf strain against the Eels and he too is expected to miss just the one week.

Jake Trbojevic will also sit out Saturday’s match against the Broncos as he continues to follow NRL concussion protocol before returning in Round 14 while Saab has succumbed to illness.

Manly Sea Eagles

• Ben Trbojevic (Illness, Round 13)
• Tommy Talau (Hamstring, Round 13)
• Josh Aloiai (Shoulder, Round 13)

• Gordon Chan Kum Tong (Head Knock, TBC)
• Taniela Paseka (Achilles, Round 25)

It's Game Day !!!

Go Manly !!!

[globaleagle]

Game day!!!!
​

Hopefully no more selection surprises.

The 'dark thread' looks like it should have a lot of posters judging by the "we're gunna looooose" narrative all week.

Anyway, it is what it is, unless anyone here is going to get a late call up.

Kick long every set and let Koula race to the ball first.

problem solved, noot noot.

Go Manly!

 

[BOZO]

Game Day
Opportunity strikes again
Every challenge we face is another Opportunity to change our fortunes
We are playing on our sacred Manly soil
Let us not surrender one blade of grass

Wonder which team is turning up today?
Will Dollars pull his finger out tonight to save origin career?

I’d have thought the normal game day thread is dark enough these days, given our performances!

No idea. Both teams are awful right now. So it’s a coin toss really. I just don’t see ut being close. Either we smash them or get smashed.

That's my thoughts as well, it's been 10yrs since we played them at Brookie and wouldn't you know it, we are down Tom, Jake, Paseka, TKO and Saab. The game will be hard enough at full strength let alone us with 5 outs tonight. Win this and it will be one for the ages.

 

[The '47ers]

At least we aren't wearing that hideous Wolverine Parra jersey this time they visit!

Toss a coin

Think the Dollar Chaser will need a big one to retain his QLD job , and he’ll want that as it involves extra $$$$

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

This is where I’m at , and where I’ll be watching from tonight.

It’s the last remaining bridge of the original Ghan line on the Oodnadatta track , it’s called “ Algebuckina Bridge “

It is actually darker than dark mode .......

Cold out there wouldn’t be Mark? Looks incredible tho. Nice glass of red while watching Manly get up would warm things up I’d imagine!

Agree Dollars needs a final origin pay check prior to signing with the chickens and retiring from Origin

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Not sure what to expect tonight... so I'm expecting anything!
Go Manly!

 

[Rafferty]

What’s the bet the Donkeys target Daly and why wouldn’t they, at 36, 2 games in 4 days, I’d have my side running at him all night as well and they have some sort of pack to send at him too. I don’t buy in on the Donkeys are a mess, they may well be unhappy with Madge, but if they turn up and want to play, look out.

G'day all,Hi Mark hope the trip is going better than our footy team.I worked at the Pedirka siding for a while which is a bit further up the line. If you pass through there you know the meaning of the middle of nowhere.Happy travels mate.
cheers mike

 

[Brookie1973]

Our only hope is that the rumours of the broncos players being offside with Madge are true, and they don’t turn up. If so, we are a chance.

 

[manly al]

Think much will depend how well the Manly defence can hold up and possession share .
If Alioia can add a bit of bustle and the rest of the pack can stand up and which they are quite capable of , maybe not so much pessimism at how well the side can actually go
Much also will definitely depend on D C E and Brooks putting in decent showings.
Manly bench is so so but maybe they can really lift for the occasion with a home game environment
