Daly Cherry-Evans has given a strong indication he will make his return against Brisbane after training with the Manly squad on Tuesday.

The Sea Eagles star halfback must make his comeback in his side’s NRL clash with the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium on Friday if he is to prove his fitness for State of Origin II in Melbourne on June 17.

After missing Origin I with a shoulder injury, he trained with the Sea Eagles squad for the first time in several weeks at their Narrabeen base.
