MATCH CENTRE: Sea Eagles vs Raiders teams, scores, videos, updates
The Raiders are 1-19, while Corey Waddell replaces Brandon Wakeham on the Manly bench. The Manly Sea Eagles backline will remain the same as last season bar Jamal Fogarty making his club debut in place of Daly Cherry-Evans.
Haumole Olakau’atu makes his return from injury after missing the opening two trial matches and slots straight into the back-row with Ben Trbojevic.
Youngster Joey Walsh and Fijian international Brandon Wakeham have both been named on the interchange bench with the former likely to be used in the contest.
The Raiders have made a surprising selection call to open up the season with Jayden Brailey (who will make his club debut) getting the nod to play off the interchange bench in favour of rookie Owen Pattie.
Meanwhile, Matt Timoko and Matty Nicholson have not been named as they continue to recover from foot and shoulder injuries and will spend the week in NSW Cup.
Simi Sasagi will shift into the centres for Timoko while Daine Laurie and Jed Stuart have been named on the reserves.
