Manly take on the Red V at Cbus Super Stadium on Friday evening, just 48 hours after Trbojevic will be lining up for the Blues in State of Origin III with DCE in action for the Maroons.
Cherry-Evans had a wow of a game against the Cowboys in round 14 as he bounced back from his Origin disappointed while Hasler elected to rest Trbojevic rather than forcing him to back up two days after Origin I and said the plan would be the same this week.
"Yes, 100%," Hasler responded when asked if the same would apply this time around.
Pressed on whether that could be treated as confirmation Cherry-Evans would play and Trbojevic would not, Hasler said "yep".
