Manly fans can breathe a sigh of relief, with superstar duo Tom Trbojevic and Daly Cherry-Evans both cleared of significant injury.
Both players left the field in the second half of Friday night's shock loss against the Warriors, with fears they could be set for a stint on the sideline.
Cherry-Evans was in agony as he was assisted from the field with back spasms, while fullback Trbojevic headed into the sheds with hamstring tightness.

According to The Sydney Morning Herald, Cherry-Evans is expected to play in the side's clash against Canberra after undergoing further assessment, while Trbojevic has been cleared of a hamstring tear after initial concerns.
Seibold confirmed to the Herald that the precautionary scans had come back positive.
Michael Chammas has added that Trbojevic is rated a '50/50 chance' of playing.
Manly will also welcome back strike centre Tolu Koula and veteran front-rower Siosiua Taukeiaho for the clash against the Raiders, who have won both of their games.
The news of Trbojevic being deemed fit to play comes after NRL legend Paul Gallen took aim at the former Dally M Medal winner over his body language and resilience.
