With Storm fullback Ryan Papenhuyzen ruled out once again due to a lingering calf injury, the Sea Eagles see an opening\u2014but they&#8217;re not underestimating the challenge.<\/p>\n<p>Manly will field an unchanged 17-man squad, signaling Seibold\u2019s confidence in the current lineup. The team\u2019s preparation has included what Seibold calls \u201ccontrolled chaos\u201d\u2014non-traditional training sessions on beaches and in unfamiliar settings, designed to build composure under pressure.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStorm are relentless. We need to match that intensity from the first minute to the last,\u201d Seibold said during a midweek press conference. \u201cThis group is learning to adapt and respond, regardless of the opponent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>One of the key adjustments has been Lehi Hopoate\u2019s move to fullback, following the repositioning of Tom Trbojevic to the centres. Despite losing their star fullback, Manly remains optimistic. \u201cWe don\u2019t need Turbo to be at the back to be dangerous,\u201d Seibold added.<\/p>\n<p>With Papenhuyzen\u2019s absence, Melbourne loses a crucial attacking weapon. Nick Meaney will again fill in at fullback, offering stability but lacking the dynamic edge Paps provides.<\/p>\n<p>As kickoff approaches, the Sea Eagles are quietly confident. Their challenge will be to bring aggression through the middle and exploit any gaps in Melbourne\u2019s reshuffled backline. It\u2019s a test of depth, discipline, and belief.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear:
