"That's the game and the nature of the beast but we'll handle it, just as the players will handle the pressure on the field."
When asked if he felt secure in his role, Toovey said: "I always feel secure."
Manly captain Jamie Lyon (groin) is joined on the sidelines by Brenton Lawrence (back), Feleti Mateo (ankle), Josh Starling (knee), Jorge Taufua (knee), and Clinton Gutherson (knee).
To make matters worse Willie Mason (virus) and Steve Matai (knee and ankle) are in doubt for the side's clash with Canberra in Albury on Saturday.
Toovey said Mason was expected to improve and take the field while Matai would have to get through fitness tests and contact work with a decision on his availability to be made later in the week.
Toovey said he was frustrated at not being able to train with a full side all year and it was showing in their performance.
"It's tough, we've lost several players for long periods - Josh Starling, Clint Gutherson, Steve Matai has been in and out for a little while and now Jamie Lyon, it looks like he's out for at least a week or two.
"It has been tough losing players. I don't think we've completed a game with our full backline intact."
Meanwhile, Cronulla boss Lyall Gorman says his NRL club has moved on from its ASADA dramas, but admits Tuesday's findings in favour of Essendon may be weighing on some Sharks players.
The AFL's anti-doping tribunal acquitted 34 current and past Bombers of any wrongdoing following an investigation that lasted more than two years. It was a very different outcome for the Sharks in August last year, when a number of players - including skipper Paul Gallen - accepted guilty pleas and backdated suspensions.
"Every player, I'm sure, would've gone through a moment of reflection about where they're at today," Gorman said yesterday.
"I know everyone had been working hard to put it behind it us."
