Manly Sea Eagles team list, latest squad news for Round 5 image

Manly caught the eye in the opening round after smashing North Queensland to record a comprehensive win. 

The Sea Eagles were brought back down to earth by the New Zealand Warriors though across the ditch as they were upset 36-16 in Round 2. 

Anthony Seibold's side turned things when they cruised to a 40-12 win over Canberra, while backing this up against Parramatta. They will now look to keep the good times rolling against Melbourne.

Sea Eagles latest team news for Round 5

Tom Trbojevic is looking at a spell on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury against the Eels. 

Lehi Hopoate will take over at fullback with Clayton Faulalo or Tommy Talau brought onto the wing. 

Josh Aloiai is in doubt after struggling with an AC joint injury in Round 4. If the prop is ruled out, Nathan Brown is likely to take his place up front with Tof Sipley added to the pine. 

Lachlan Croker is nearing a return after missing the opening month of the campaign with a knee injury. His inclusion would likely see Jake Simpkin drop out of the side.
