Rookie Morgan Harper has been named at fullback as Tom Trbojevic's replacement in Manly's final pre-season hit-out against the Tigers.<\/a><\/p>\n

The 22-year-old played five games for Manly last season at centre but will line up for the Sea Eagles in the No.1 jersey in Sunday's trial against Wests.<\/p>\n

New recruit Josh Aloiai has been named on an extended bench. The Leichhardt Oval clash will be the last trial game for Hasler's side head of their season opener against the Roosters on March 13th.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
