The Sea Eagles are preparing for a tough matchup against the Raiders as they aim for a winning return to 4 Pines Park.
After suffering a surprise loss to the Warriors last week, both Daly Cherry-Evans and Tom Trbojevic sustained injuries but have been cleared of serious concerns ahead of Sunday's game.
Despite their injuries, both players are expected to play against the Raiders.
Manly will be looking to improve on their performance from last week, where they made 12 errors that ultimately cost them the game.
They are aware that the strong Raiders team will capitalize on any mistakes made.
On the other hand, the Raiders are coming off a convincing win against the Broncos and will be full of confidence heading into the clash with the Sea Eagles.
Their forward pack was dominant in the previous game and they are aiming to replicate that performance against Manly.
The return of Xavier Coates to the team adds another layer of potency to the Raiders lineup.
With both teams looking to secure a victory in Round 3, it promises to be an exciting and closely contested match between the Sea Eagles and the Raiders.
