Looks like manu is set to return.. He flew over with the squad. Will be very dangerous for our edge defense.

I hope he doesn't play, he knows how to put a try on us.
Source: http://www.foxsports.com.au/league/n...-1226018492281Warriors: Ivan Cleary has taken Bill Tupou, Joel Moon, Jeremy Latimore and Sione Louisi as covered for doubtful players Sam Rapira, Ben Matulino and Lewis Brown. Manu Vatuvei is also with the squad but is not expected back until next week.
Gives some hope though.
I don't expect the Beast to play this weekend. They seem to be really taking their time with him, for good reason. He's too valuable to come back early and potentially make things even worse for him.

Dangerous player, hope he doesn't line up against us

According to article, "Backrower Mark Minichiello has "pulled up well" after chiming into City's narrow loss to Country in the NSW Origin selection trial at Albury, but is not expected to back up against the Warriors on Sunday."
