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: Tuesday, 08 April 2025) * * *

Manly winger Jason Saab is in doubt for next week's clash with Cronulla after he limped from the field late in Sunday's loss to Melbourne.

Coach Anthony Seibold is optimistic the injury is not serious but fears Saab will miss the trip to Perth.

"Saaby's got a high-ankle sprain," Seibold said. "They're telling me it's minor. I don't know whether he'll be available this week, which will be disappointing for us and Saaby because he's had a good start to the season.

Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic is facing a month on the sidelines after injuring his medial collateral ligament in his left knee in the win over the Eels.

Trbojevic appeared to pick up the injury in the first half and battled through the pain but did not return after half-time.

Scans confirmed minor damage to his MCL and the 2021 Dally M Medalist is set to miss four weeks of football.

It's Game Day !!!

Go Manly !!!

[globaleagle]

GAME DAY!!!!!

Woohoo

 

[robbiea]

Lets go !!

 

[Dion Johnson]

Be good to honour Haumole with a win in his 100TH first grade appearance for the club.

 

[IQofalimabean]

Take no prisoners!!!

 

[Chunkytuna]

Time to stand up and show a bit of mettle today. Tough game but if we want to be anything at all this season we need to be tough. Let’s give it to these tadpoles!!! LETS FUKEN GO!!!! MAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNLLLLYYY!!

 

[Jethro]

Here are some points to consider for this game:

• We came into this round in 6th place on the NRL Ladder.
• We were 2nd in the competition on attack points.
• We were tying in 12th position in defence with the Raiders (Wests Tigers are 11th).
• We had the 4th highest differential with +28.
• At the start of Game Day, today, we are still in 6th place on the NRL Ladder.

Lets just hope that we can put in a good performance this afternoon, and tighten up the defence so that our position on the ladder doesn't fall too far from what it currently is in this round so far (6th).

 

[The Wheel]

Fight hard

Be good to honour Haumole with a win in his 100TH first grade appearance for the club.

Whoohoo game day can't wait for this one. Redemption day ?? Sharks 32 - Manly 12.

 

[Wombat64]

Watch safely. Lube early. Lube often. Going to be a rough one.

 

[robbiea]

Good to see DCE has a sense of humour
This was a comment I made on the “Battle of the beaches” post.

May need gallons of it in fact.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Whilst I think we’ll get absolutely reamed today look at some other games this weekend.

Penrith with Cleary / Edwards back , absolutely dusted !!

AND the genius tipsters ( not me ) who had a full strength Donkeys , at home being plastered by the Chooks who were running almost last.

So who knows, we might come out and slaughter the Gummies.

And then just like last week when I got 2 points in the tipping , it’ll be about the same this week.

Fair dinkum , the year for tipping probably ****ed in two rounds

 

[nightster]

Gee & Klein wow how lucky are we

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I know a lot of you will be looking forward to the game today. I don't want to be captain buzz kill so apologies for sharing this but I just needed somewhere to vent. I normally look forward to watching Manly play each week I know it's just a game of footy and but I'm irrationally dreading watching this game today. I really am. I know I could just not watch it and not care but I can't not. I guess it will be like watching a car crash as much you try you can't just not look...... It sucks. I'll move further negative sentiments to the dark thread....

If you need help contact Lifeline 13 11 14 available 24 hours.
Hope you feel better soon

 

[DanielTurbo888]

I am expecting us to bounce back and win today in a very tight match.

Manly 28 Sharks 24

This was a comment I made on the “Battle of the beaches” post.

Which one was it - DCE or Hynes (the little beach I mean)?

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I am expecting us to bounce back and win today in a very tight match.

Manly 28 Sharks 24

What I'd love to see... Manly bash the Sharks from start to finish and win the game.
And best case scenario, DCE to star with a clever game managing performance, because that would really help keep a lid on all the speculation crap.
