Have your say: who wins tonight?
More than $3 million of talent back for Manly in season opener
Manly were missing more than $3 million worth of talent in their forward pack at the end of the 2025 season.
Taniela Paseka ruptured his Achilles in round three, Haumole Olakau’atu had a shoulder reconstruction, Nathan Brown underwent surgery to repair a ruptured bicep, while stalwart Jake Trbojevic was sidelined as he managed ongoing concussion concerns.

So it is a relief for coach Anthony Seibold that all four return for their season opener against the Raiders on tonight.
Have your say: who wins tonight?
Welcome
Good evening footy fans.
Rugby league returns to Brookvale tonight, as the Sea Eagles take on the Raiders from 7.35pm.
Billie Eder here at 4 Pines Park to take you through all the action in a match that will hopefully be significantly more competitive than the one that’s playing out in the Shire.
Plenty of exciting storylines to follow tonight – Tom Trbojevic’s first match as Manly captain, the Sea Eagles first game without Daly Cherry-Evans, and Jamal Fogarty taking on his former club in round one.
Team lists and news to come. Enjoy.
