Manly and Canberra will face life without Cherry-Evans and Fogarty, respectively, as they meet at Brookvale on Saturday.
Manly will get their first genuine taste of life without Daly Cherry-Evans at the same time and place that Canberra experience life without Jamal Fogarty.
Fogarty's move from the nation's capital to the Northern Beaches will have a huge impact on both clubs, who just happen to open their campaigns against each other at Brookvale on Saturday.
The new Sea Eagles halfback is all too aware of the jersey he'll be wearing, the shoes he's filling and the legacy of his predecessor.
"First and foremost, what he's done for the club, I can't do any of that," Fogarty said.
