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: Wednesday, 26 February 2025) * * *
Manly forward Taniela Paseka has been cleared of serious damage and will be fit for Round 1 after suffering a shoulder injury in Saturday's Witzer Pre-Season Challenge clash with South Sydney.
The prop landed heavily on his shoulder early in the second half and left the field soon after with an AC joint injury.
However, scans have determined the injury is a grade one and while Paseka will be rested from Friday night's clash against Penrith he will be fit for Manly's opening premiership match against the Cowboys at 4 Pines Park on March 8.
Sea Eagles hooker Lachlan Croker will miss the start of the season as he recovers from knee surgery.
The club has announced that the 28-year-old had arthroscopic surgery to his left knee before Christmas and is recovering well.
Croker is expected to be available for selection in Round 4.
Manly Sea Eagles
Also, from the Official NRL Casualty Ward & Injury Information, Manly hub page, there are slight variations to the information regarding the unavailable or injured players and their return periods:
