Cbus Super Stadium, Robina
3.40-1.32
>Daly Cherry-Evans will look to make a statement against the Titans after his SOO axing. DCE's opposing captain is his halves partner from the 2011 GF. The Titans remain anchored to the bottom of the ladder after a 44-14 defeat to the Brisbane Broncos in Round 14, their fifth loss in their last six games. The Sea Eagles suffered a heartbreaking 26-22 golden point loss to the Knights. They have struggled for consistency, with three wins and three losses in their past six matches. The Titans are without Origin representatives Tino Fa'asuamaleaui and Moeaki Fotuaika. Jaimin Jolliffe and Klese Haas are promoted to the starting pack, while prop Josh Patston is set to make his NRL debut from the bench. Manly receives a massive boost with superstar fullback Tom Trbojevic returning from a thigh injury. The return of Trbojevic is critical; in the games he has played this season, Manly's attacking output has been significantly higher. Winger Jason Saab is also back from illness, and prop Siosiua Taukeiaho returns from a calf injury. Reuben Garrick will celebrate his 150th NRL game. The Sea Eagles have dominated this fixture recently, winning both clashes in 2024 and holding a 16-12 overall advantage. The return of Tom Trbojevic could not come at a better time for a Manly side desperate to stay in touch with the top eight. Facing a Titans team missing its two best forwards to Origin duty, the Sea Eagles have a golden opportunity to get their season back on track.
