The season-opener at Brookvale will see the club’s two key recruits, Jazz Tevaga and Siua Taukei'aho, make their Sea Eagles’ debut.
It will be Taukei'aho's first NRL appearance since 2022, following nine seasons with the Sydney Roosters and one season with Super League club, Catalans Dragons.
The two-time premiership winner played in both Pre-season Challenge matches for Manly and is in line to become Sea Eagles Player #661.
Tevaga, who made the move to the Northern Beaches after nine seasons with New Zealand Warriors, will become Sea Eagles Player #662.
Just days after penning a new contract with the Club, Lehi Hopoate has earned a start on one wing, with Jason Saab on the other.
The one and only contest between these two teams last season was decided by the barest margin when a Daly Cherry-Evans field goal secured the Sea Eagles a 21-20 golden-point victory in Townsville.
