Here is the Latest NRL Injured or Unavailable Update:
(Updated: Tuesday, 17 August 2021)

A fractured cheekbone that once almost cost Tom Trbojevic an Australian Test jersey has apparently saved him from suffering a similar injury as Manly gear up for a finals assault.

Trbojevic copped a knock to his cheekbone as he spearheaded an astonishing 56-10 thrashing of Parramatta on Saturday, and has reported swelling and bruising from the injury afterward.

Whether Trbojevic is available for Friday's clash with Canberra will be determined during the week but initial signs appear that he's unlikely to suit up.

Teammate Brad Parker is also expected to be ruled out of Friday night's clash against the Raiders following a nasty head knock after being floored by Ryan Matterson.

Friday 6pm SUNCORP

We need to get revenge on the Raiders after our last loss to them
Having DCE play half should be a big plus over our last game.
Sipley back hopefully.
Suli for Scorpio

Raiders will be desperate to make the eight.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Yes we should be 4 points further up the ladder , them and the Knights , both very very poor games.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

I don't know why but looking at our last 4 run home, I was more concerned playing the raiders than any other team. They can trouble sides can grind it out and most of their losses haven't been blow outs.. Having said that our attitude and strike power has been on fire. So I am more confident. We need to start well cause no one is going to do us any favours. We need to smack their arsses and send them packing

 

[manlyfan76]

Raiders probably need to win three in a row to play finals.
Small chance if 2/3
No chance if 1/3

Just read, Starlings out with a broken jaw

And CNH will be suspended

 

[Waz13]

And CNH will be suspended

Those are very big outs for them. CHN has been great on that edge and starling really hurt us last time. Wighton s playing 6 so that helps us too. So overrated that bloke.

If sticky wants the week off can we get Dali to coach them this week?

 

[Cliffymagic]

Another carve up wouldn't surprise me.
Manly are playing ruthless footy this year.

 

[Damien2812]

Big difference between the last time we met is Turbo. DCE also didn't play that game so really if we play with the same attitude and want to compete another 50 isn't out of the question.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Starling is a big out for them. There's probably a chance Croker misses too after he failed his HIA. No CHN clearly, but he has been coming off bench anyway.CNK rumoured to be back next week.

We'll be missing Scorpio and Paseka is still out, but we get Sippers back.

 

[Rocky]

To be honest i'm not that worried about the Raiders. They have a similar game plan to the Eels.They will be desperate but If we can match them up front we will win pretty easily.

 

[sheridanstand78]

This promises to be a tough and physical battle and over the last few years there is not much between the teams.

We need to match their intensity and importantly do our basics well.

If we hold them we have a backline that will devastate them if given the chance.

They'll try and bash us, as they did to the Storm

 

[manlyfan76]

I'd love to see Suli V jarhed croaker.

 

[winnyason]

Kick early turn there pack around mobility not there strength.

Don't forget Jake was out too. We let in a couple of soft tries up the middle that he usually stops dead in their tracks
