Celebrate the NRL’s financial windfall this week with an early taste of finals footy – join us for NRL live scores and blog as the Sea Eagles take on the Broncos from Fortress Brookvale at 7:30pm AEST.
This is the oldest of all possible rivalries for the Broncos and it’s their last chance to send a message to the rest of the competition that there’s life in the old stallion yet.
For Manly, another solid showing in front of their home fans against a desperate fellow finals contender will confirm their looming presence as the team to be feared in the run home.
Manly have flexed their premiership-defence muscle recently with convincing wins over Newcastle and Souths. Before that, they scraped home against a gallant Cowboys and the luckless Warriors.
Brisbane’s form has been building as well. In the same period as Manly’s four straight wins, the Broncos have crashed out of matches to Parramatta, Canberra and the Bulldogs as well as narrowly missing out on an upset win against the resurgent Storm last start.
Can Brisbane muster the spirit they need for one last charge in their third successive match against genuine Premiership contenders? Or will the heartbreak of squandered early leads against the Dogs and the Storm render them impotent in this one?
In Brisbane’s favour is the likely return of young guns Josh McGuire and Alex Glenn. They’re also counting on Manly’s shorter turnaround and the fact the Sea Eagles limped over the line with an empty bench in their last outing.
However, Manly may as well have an extra player on the field when playing at home and they rightly fear no team when doing battle for their home fans.
Their superstar halves and fullback are in deadly form and up front Brent Kite, Joe Galuvao and Tony Williams continue to pound out big metres in a sustained late-season surge.
The last time these teams met in round 10, Manly came from behind right on full time to snatch the game from Brisbane at Suncorp Stadium in a particularly galling match for Broncos fans.
“If Corey Parker had kicked just one goal!” they howled to the heavens on that occasion.
Before that of course was Manly’s elimination of Brisbane in week three of season 2011’s finals series. In fact, Manly have fairly dominated the Broncos in recent seasons, winning six of their last eight clashes.
Two desperate teams with equally desperate reasons for a win in this one means that Round 25 is set to explode on Friday night. Can the Broncos hold onto their hard-earned spot in the top 8 with a win? Ditto the Sea Eagles, but for a top 4 berth?
Prediction
The Broncos are traditionally not a team that lets a few bad results dampen their will to win and they’ll sense that this is their do-or-die moment.
However, they are coming up against rock-hard opposition here and the futile efforts of recent weeks will have drained just enough out of them to allow Manly to scrape home in a close one here.
Manly by 4.

SEA EAGLES – 16
BRISBANE – 6
The home side have simply outclassed and outlasted Brisbane who to be honest were never in this one. It seems pretty obvious that even if the Broncos manage to get over Penrith next week, they’re not going to feature in the finals. That’s six losses in a row and they are looking soft, tired and pretty much bored with this whole football thing.
For Manly, they almost casually disposed of a rival that was being talked up going into this one. They’ve continued their push into the top 4 with a fairly comfortable win in their last season game at home.

Manly are doing a Wally Lewis and dictating terms to Brisbane in a one-sided display. Like a cat toying with a mouse, they’re probing the tired-looking Broncos defence left, right, middle, over the top with kicks as well as winning the ruck.
The Broncos don’t seem that interested to be frank. For a team that’s been fading out of matches after half time, it’s looking pretty grim for the away side.

So confused how this isn’t a shepherd – glenn runs behind his line to get away from his defender, then inside balls it to Brett who runs up the middle in a gap made by a manly player standing in the way with his hands up. Can you run behind your team or can’t you? Gosh.

The rule on shepherds is clear – if you run behind a teammate to avoid the defence, then it’s a shepherd. Obstruction is different, that’s more to do with decoy runners getting in the way or not. In this case, glenn turned and ran behind his teammates to avoid the defender that was in front of him.

Brisbane’s bringing it back towards half way. The teams are feeling each other out. No early territorial advantage.

Welcome to the live score blog, Roarers. It’s a fine night in Ye Olde Sydney Towne and I reckon we’re going to see a torrid, hard hitting match with plenty of emphasis on defence. Let’s get it on!

The refs will penilise the Broncos into submission early, 10 sets before they see the ball.
burn i tell ya.
When the Broncos recieve the ball they will give them a consulation penalty. Fatty will be drulling over Manly like he normally does, tell everyone how good this international and origin team is, give some comiserations and give Cherry Evans man of the match,.
Then he will go on and on about another Manly premiership.
All while the powerhouse clubs burn,
Manly by 24.

Every game is a lottery these days given so many games are decided by the refs in the middle and the dreaded video ref! Heart says broncs but head is leaning towards the sea eagles by plenty. Looking forward to all games from now to gf.

Didn’t work the last 2 games. I’m almost expecting for them to have lost hope – they put in great first halves the last 2 games, then got wrong decisioned out of the game. Almost like “why bother, it all turns to rubbish anyway”

I reckon the Broncos are a big chance too. Manly due a bad game.
