There are a few changes to the team that was defeated by the Sharks in Round 21 with a couple of players back on deck and a season-ending injury to middle forward Kobe Hetherington.
Hetherington suffered a ruptured bicep in training yesterday and is scheduled to undergo surgery next week.
Brandon Wakeham (calf) will play his first game since Round 16, replacing Nic Lenaz as the starting hooker.
Corey Waddell returns from an ankle injury replacing Ben Trbojevic (head knock) in the second row.
Ethan Bullemor will start the match at prop with Simione Laiafi named on the interchange.
Also on the bench is Fletcher Baker who is a chance of making his Manly debut after joining the club from the Bulldogs mid-season.
There is just the one change to the backline. Blake Wilson is named on the wing for his third appearance of the season, with Tolu Koula reverting to the centres.
