Manly should be well-placed come Origin time if Daly Cherry-Evans plays for Queensland with back-up half Jake Arthur producing some of his best form to date in NSW Cup. The 22-year-old set up four tries for the Sea Eagles and got three linebreak assists. He sits first in the competition with 12 try assists and 10 linebreak assists in five appearances.
