The Penrith Panthers have been forced to make massive 11th-hour changes for tonight’s NRL clash with Manly Sea Eagles after losing star playmaker Jarome Luai to illness.

Starting hooker Mitch Kenny is also out of the game after failing to complete the team’s captain's run yesterday.

Vodafone Fiji Bati winger Sunia Turuva has been named to start on the left wing for the Panthers tonight.

Meanwhile, the game tonight will be a must-win match for the Sea Eagles to keep their finals hopes alive.

The Panthers will take on the Sea Eagles at 9.50pm tonight.
