Overview

• Tom Trbojevic has indicated he expects to remain at centre for the rest of the season and is focused on excelling in that role.
• He has recorded about 70 tackles over his past three matches, a defensive workload that coaches say has curtailed his attacking influence.
• Former NSW fullback Greg Alexander has publicly urged Manly to return Trbojevic to No.1 to reignite the team’s scoring edge.
• Trbojevic’s right knee has been declared all clear following a brief scare in the 42-4 loss to Canterbury, with no restrictions on his availability.
• Lehi Hopoate retains the fullback position but has struggled to match Trbojevic’s impact as the Sea Eagles aim for four wins from their final six games.
