Manly Sea Eagles fans can breathe easy as both Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans have avoided serious injuries following their exit from the game against the Warriors on Friday night. Cherry-Evans was seen in considerable pain due to back spasms, while fullback Trbojevic reported hamstring tightness, raising concerns about their availability for upcoming matches.
Following the match, head coach Anthony Seibold provided limited details regarding the players’ conditions. However, recent updates indicate a positive outcome for the Sea Eagles. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, Cherry-Evans has received the green light to participate in the upcoming match against the Canberra Raiders, pending further assessments. Likewise, Trbojevic has been cleared of a hamstring tear, dispelling initial worries.
Seibold confirmed that precautionary scans resulted in encouraging news, although Trbojevic’s chances of playing are still considered about “50/50,” as reported by Michael Chammas. Adding to the team’s strength, Manly is set to welcome back centre Tolu Koula and veteran prop Siosiua Taukeiaho for their clash against a Raiders side that has secured victories in both of their previous games.
Trbojevic’s fitness has been a focal point of discussion, especially after NRL icon Paul Gallen critiqued his body language and resilience on the field. The anticipation builds as fans hope for a strong performance from the team, highlighting the crucial role both key players have on the squad’s success.
