SEA EAGLES v BULLDOGS
8.05pm Friday at Brookvale Oval
Sea Eagles: Fullback Brett Stewart remains in significant doubt for Manly’s NRL season opener on Friday night due to a hamstring injury.
Stewart didn’t train with the Sea Eagles at their Narrabeen base on Monday morning, instead opting for treatment with the team physiotherapist and is at best a 50/50 proposition.
Recruit Apisai Koroisau is likely to play. He trained on Monday and shared the hooker duties with Matt Parcell.
Young gun Tom Trbojevic (leg) trained strongly on Monday and will play against the Bulldogs. Trbojevic will likely slot into fullback if Stewart is ruled out.
Bulldogs: Canterbury could be without star fullbackBrett Morris for the first month of the new season, opening the door for young flyer Brad Abbey.
Morris had a second round of knee surgery on Monday after being plagued by problems in the NRL pre-season.
Coach Des Hasler’s star recruit Will Hopoate is expected to fill in at fullback but it leaves a role in the backline vacant for Abbey.
