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, 23 May 2025) * * *
Sea Eagles coach Anthony Seibold is adamant the club will give Jake Trbojevic all the time he needs to recover from his second concussion in the space of a month.
Speaking ahead of Friday's clash with the Eels, Seibold said Trbojevic was following the concussion protocols and "his welfare is by far the most important thing".
"Jake will meet an independent doctor, which is part of the protocols, and we'll give him as much time as he needs," Seibold said.
"We need to be conservative with Jake , we don't want to put him out there too early. We'll be guided by how he feels but he is feeling a lot better today."
A boost for the club with hooker Lachlan Croker named for his first game since last year's semi-finals.
Croker had arthroscopic surgery to his left knee before Christmas and was tipped to return by Round 4 but he required further cleanout surgery in April.
"Crokes has been working really hard in the background," Seibold said. "He'll come back and we'll limit his time but he has been training with the group the last couple of weeks."
However, Ben Trbojevic was withdrawn from the team on game day due to illness, with Michael Chee-Kam added to the reserves. Corey Waddell comes into the starting line-up forTrbojevic with Caleb Navale added to the bench.
