Manly supporters can finally breathe easy, as star players Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans have both been cleared of serious injury concerns.
During the second half of Friday night’s unexpected defeat to the Warriors, both players exited the field, sparking worries that they could face time on the sidelines.
Cherry-Evans appeared to be in severe pain as he was assisted off with back spasms, while fullback Trbojevic was seen heading for the dressing rooms due to hamstring tightness.
Head coach Anthony Seibold provided little information about their conditions in the post-match press conference, but subsequent news has brought a welcome relief to the Sea Eagles.

As reported by The Sydney Morning Herald, both representative stars are projected to take the field in the upcoming round three match against Canberra following further assessments.
Seibold confirmed to the Herald that precautionary scans have yielded positive results.
Furthermore, Manly is set to welcome back dynamic centre Tolu Koula and seasoned front-rower Siosiua Taukeiaho for their upcoming encounter with the Raiders, who remain unbeaten after their first two games.
This positive update on Trbojevic comes in the wake of NRL legend Paul Gallen criticising the former Dally M Medal winner for his body language and mental resilience.
