Glenn expected to play

[ManlyBacker]

THE Sea Eagles are expecting back Glenn Stewart for the first time since round 15 when Manly play at home to Des Hasler's Canterbury tonight.

Stewart suffered the knee injury at Brookvale Oval against the Storm last month, and missed the State of Origin decider as a result.

He's been named in the side for the past fortnight but has been a late omission each week, however, the Sea Eagles are expecting him to take the field tonight.

The Bulldogs will be missing Dene Halatau but have been boosted by Sam Kasiano's victory at the NRL judiciary on Wednesday night, free to take on the reigning premiers.

Great news. We have the Gift.

Would be great if he is fully fit bit I'll wait for the club to confirm this before escalating my hopes.

All the Manly Players should make a pact that none of them will retaliate to the grubby tactics unleashed on them tonight

They can be assured that all the Manly Supporters will be doing their bit to unsettle the mongrels

We want all our Boys to stay on the field for the B2B campaign that was almost derailed before it started. Wolverine expected to be cheering on the Premiers tonight at Brookie!

Late mail on NRL.com says gift has been cleared to play.

hopefully this is true. Gift is an important key in our right side attack.

Two tries please Gifty, and a couple of bone jarring hits too!

Just hope he gets through the game unscathed tbh.

If Gift plays who drops off our bench? Harrison? Lussick? Joe?

You couldn't leave George off. He was one of our best in our first round match with the Berries. Buhrer is a must as a utility.

I'm tipping Harrison to miss out.

I doubt they would be risking him if he wasn't 100% to play so i'm confident he will give his all as will everyone else. There's a lot riding on this game. We lose we kiss goodbye top 4 and will struggle to even make the 8.

Was just in the TAB putting my footy tips in, and a dog called Gifty won race 3 at Casino. Got to be a good sign. Load up on Manly or Gift first try scorer!!

Might just do that.

An even better surprise tonight would be the inclusion of B Stewart an hour before kickoff.

Lussick came off injured last week, and would be heartbroken now that Kearney has left Parra

that leaves me to william hopoate, will he still go over?
