Manly's resident legends Daly Cherry-Evans and Jake Trbojevic are throwing their support behind Sea Eagles teammate Haumole Olakau'atu, as he gears up to shine on the big stage next Wednesday at Homebush.
With a keen eye for talent and a deep understanding of the game, Cherry-Evans and Trbojevic have witnessed Olakau'atu's meteoric rise as a powerhouse second-rower since his NRL debut in 2019.
Having already made his mark on the international scene with Tonga, Olakau'atu is now set to face his biggest challenge yet as he dons the coveted blue jersey for NSW Blues on June 2nd.
As the Queensland captain, Cherry-Evans is all too aware of the threat Olakau'atu poses on the field.
But in the game of rugby league, it's all about the thrill of the competition and the chance to showcase your skills against the best of the best.
And Olakau'atu is ready to bring his A-game and make his mark in Origin history.
