Manly's coach plans player changes after Round 15 loss; teams face selection challenges ahead.
Manly coach Anthony Seibold is expected to swing the axe after a disappointing loss in Round 15 with a host of players being dropped and a positional switch for Tom Trbojevic all but locked in.
Star five-eighths Dylan Brown and Cody Walker are scheduled to return, while the Dolphins, Knights and Warriors will need to replace key players.
Michael Maguire is facing a selection headache of the good kind with veteran playmaker Ben Hunt due back from a hamstring injury, while all eyes will be on Lachlan Galvin and how he fits into the Bulldogs' 17 with Matt Burton back from Origin duties.
