This Sunday, two fierce rivals will meet again for a thrilling triple-header at 4 Pines Park.
First, a focus on the current matchup.
Manly seeks redemption after last weekend's closely-fought loss to the Raiders, aiming for their first win of the season.
Due to a calf injury to Siua Taukeiaho, there's a single change in the lineup, with Kobe Hetherington stepping into the starting front row.
Former Knights player Paul Bryan is poised for his Sea Eagles debut as an interchange forward.
The Knights will start young half Sandon Smith in place of Fletcher Sharpe, who is sidelined with a knee injury.
Additionally, forward Francis Manuleleua is set to make his NRL debut from the bench.
Newcastle comes into this match with a brief pause after their 28-18 victory over the Cowboys in Las Vegas.
Historically, Manly holds an impressive record against Newcastle, especially at 4 Pines Park, winning 19 of the 23 matches since 1988.
This Sunday, we welcome two guests who started their careers in maroon and white long before the Knights joined the league, both being 70s premiership champions.
