DCE is carrying a hamstring injury and is no certainty to play, according to The Australian's Brent Read.

"There is some mail Daly may miss the game due to the hamstring problem," Read told Triple M.

"It's only a whisper at this stage but that's what we're hearing."

Jackson Hastings is believed to be on stand-by for Cherry-Evans.

The loss of their skipper would be a massive blow for a Manly side still searching for its first win after a week of off-field drama.

The Sea Eagles will equal the club record for most consecutive losses if they slump to defeat, having lost their last seven games in a run starting late last year.
