Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Coach David Heath has named his team to play Penrith Panthers in week one of the Holden Cup finals.
The match will be played at ANZ Stadium on Saturday from 3.10pm and will be shown live on Fox Sports.
The Panthers finished the regular season as minor premiers on 44 competition points with the Sea Eagles in fourth place on 33 points.
In changes to the team that crushed Cronulla last Sunday, Tom Trbojevic returns at full-back after playing in the NRL win over the Sharks. With Trbojevic back, Nicho Hynes returns to half-back.
Hooker and goal-kicker Hugh Pratt returns to the team after playing in the NSW Cup elimination finals loss last Saturday.
Riley Travers, who played half-back in the win over Cronulla, returns to the interchange bench.
