NRL Late Mail Round 3 - Turbo sidelined

Manly superstar Tom Trbojevic has been ruled out of Sunday's home clash against Canberra.

Trbojevic experienced hamstring tightness late in the match against the Warriors last Friday and has been on a modified training program during the week.

While he was running freely in training today, the club will take a conservative approach to have him ready for the Round 4 clash with the Eels.

NRL Late Mail: Round 3

Sea Eagles v Raiders, Sunday 6.15pm (AEDT) at 4 Pines Park

Sea Eagles: Fullback Tom Trbojevic (hamstring tightness) was ruled out on Thursday with the club taking a conservative approach to his recovery. Lehi Hopoate will play fullback, with Clayton Faulalo taking his place on the wing. Daly Cherry-Evans (back spasms) is good to go and starts at halfback. Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega is the replacement player. 

Raiders: Trey Mooney and Morgan Smithies swap roles an hour out from kick-off in the only change for the Green Machine. That sees Mooney start alongside new recruit Matthew Nicholson, who is in for Zac Hosking (hand). Albert Hopoate is the 18th man.
