Sydney Roosters v Manly Sea Eagles, Sunday 7.15pm AEST
Roosters: Boyd Cordner (ankle) and Luke O'Donnell (hamstring) are both expected to be cleared to play, with Cordner officially having until Saturday to prove his fitness. Cordner is likely to start in the back row, with Frank-Paul Nu'uausala shifting to the front row and Sam Moa moving to the bench. Isaac Liu and Dylan Napa are the men most likely to drop out of the 17.
Sea Eagles: Joe Galuvao has trained with the side but is unlikely to return from an Achilles injury which has kept him out of the game since April. David Gower and James Hasson are battling for the final bench spot in place of the injured Richie Fa'aoso.
