Manly Warringah Sea Eagles Coach Des Hasler has named his team to play the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks in an NRL trial at Netstrata Jubilee Stadium on Sunday, March 1.
The 6pm match is Manly’s only pre-season hit out heading into round one of the Telstra Premiership season against Melbourne Storm at Lottoland on Sunday, March 15.
Entry to the trial at Kogarah is via a gold coin donation to help raise funds for the family of Fine Kula. A ‘Fight for Fine’ appeal has been set up to support Fine, a rising young prop with the Sharks, in his battle with brain cancer.
The Jersey Flegg and Canterbury Cup trials will be played earlier in the day at Henson Park, Marrickville.
