In a mega call that could shape the outcome of Round 1, coach Anthony Seibold is set to name rising star Ben Trbojevic in the Manly Sea Eagles' team.
The youngest Trbojevic has been touted as surpassing the talents of his famous brothers and is on the cusp of a permanent spot in the squad.
Despite battling injuries in recent seasons, a full pre-season without setbacks has earned him the opportunity to start in the historic double-header against the South Sydney Rabbitohs.
Reports suggest that Trbojevic's stellar pre-season and impressive three-try performance in an unofficial trial have sealed his position in the side, edging out Josh Schuster.
However, Schuster's hopes of cementing his place in the team were dashed by a combination of chicken pox and a finger injury.
As the Sea Eagles prepare to travel to Las Vegas, Turbo, Jurbo, and Burbo hold the key to their success and will be eager to shine on the rugby league stage.
