Penrith and Vodafone Fiji Bati forward Reagan Campbell‑Gillard admits the Manly pack had it in for him as the Sea Eagles ran rampant in their win over the side on Saturday.
Campbell‑Gillard started for the first time in eight weeks but felt the brute strength of Sea Eagles forwards Martin Taupau and Jake Trbojevic in the early stages.
The robust forward has been named to start at prop while Waqa Blake will start at centre for the Panthers.
Meanwhile, Akuila Uate has been named to start on the wing for Manly while Apisai Koroisau will start at hooker for the Sea Eagles.
The Panthers will take on the Sea Eagles at 9.40pm Saturday.
In other qualifying finals, the Roosters will host the Broncos at 9.55pm Friday, the Storm will host the Eels at 6.10pm Saturday while the Sharks will take on the Cowboys at 6.10pm Sunday.
