Looks like Felise will miss a game as well.
No Tui, NAS, Felise or Pene this week.
Along with no Hughes.
This will be a tough game.

Watching their game last night and it felt like too many Sharks players were in awe of Turbo when he had the ball. The one try he had where he just stopped and changed direction was against some of the worst defence you'll see.
I'm pretty concerned at our edge defence holding up. Manly spread it wide early and often.

Manly haven’t really had a real test though against a top 4 side since round 11, so even though they have looked good they have been versing weak defensive teams lately, and they have also been conceding 22, 24, 18, 30, 24 against weaker offensive sides so I think this will be their big test to see where they are really at.
Turbo has carried manly in most of their big wins this season, if we can limit his influence and we play to at least near our best we will win.
Though with no Hughes most likely, it will make things tougher.

I thought Jahrome was out for a week? Wonder whether Johns is there as cover.

Hughes only corked his calf no strain or tear. So I’m assuming it’s all good to play and Bellamy will give Hughes’s deserved rest next week as this is our toughest game left of the remaining 5 games.
I was hoping to see tepai named on the bench, I hope he gets a game in before finals in case we need him to fill in for someone.

Bellamy loves a record. Most consecutive wins in the history of professional RL in this country is a big one. Might be too much of a draw to just walk away from.
Either that or Hughes just isn't that bad.
Hopefully the latter.
