The NRL finals will roll into Week 2 with surprise packets the Manly Sea Eagles looking to keep their season alive as they hit the road to face the South Sydney Rabbitohs at ANZ Stadium in Homebush.
Set to be played on Friday, September 20, kick off in this NRL semi-final is scheduled for 7:50pm (AEST) although is likely to be a few minutes later than that by the time the game actually gets underway as is custom with the competition.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs finishes the regular season in the top four, but a heavy loss to the Sydney Roosters last week meant they missed out on the chance of a week off and instead have to play this semi-final.
While they may be a little down on confidence, it will be nothing of the sort for the Sea Eagles despite playing without Tom Trbojevic after they upset the Cronulla Sharks in last week’s elimination final at Brookvale.
