Show Preview
An extraordinary Round 20 concludes with the Manly Sea Eagles locking horns with a Cronulla Sharks outfit still hanging on grimly to a top-eight spot. Tune into the action here on The Roar with live scores from 8:05pm (AEST).
This match was originally scheduled for the Sunday arvo slot, but while it has been shifted from Redcliffe to Suncorp Stadium, some Peter V’landys bargaining with the Queensland government means it has only been pushed back to Monday night, following the snap COVID-19 lockdown.
The Sharks’ win over the Bulldogs last week ensures seventh spot is theirs to lose in the final rounds, but tricky fixtures against the Sea Eagles here and the Storm in Round 25 loom as being vital to their chances of another finals berth.
Equally challenging will be finding a replacement for the in-form Shaun Johnson at halfback, who pinged a hamstring against the Dogs. Braydon Trindall has been moved into the number seven, making room for Connor Tracey to return to a starting spot. Will Chambers is also back after heading to Melbourne for the birth of his child.
Manly at full strength have been a force to be reckoned with this season, and with both Tom and Jake Trbojevic plus Daly Cherry-Evans and a host of others fighting fit, a top-four berth is still well within reach.
Curtis Sironen makes his return from a knee injury off the bench, while Karl Lawton is back in the frame after missing last week’s win over the Tigers with a back injury.
