Round 9 of the NRL premiership continues this evening when the Manly Sea Eagles take on the Gold Coast Titans at 4 Pines Park in Brookvale. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 5:30pm (AEST).
It’s 2nd vs 10th tonight. Whilst you’d think the result would be fairly cut and dry, there is only 3 competition points separating them. With such a compressed ladder, every win is crucial and so it will be in this game.
The Sea Eagles got home 22-16 against the Tigers last start, after being behind with less than ten minutes on the clock. They probably do have an excuse for being flat, after a torrid victory against the Storm the week before. When the game was on the line against Wests, they stood up.
Daly Cherry-Evans has been in sublime form so far this season and is justifying his price tag. The Sea Eagles have a good blend of youth and experience, with long term campaigners like Jake Trbojevic and DCE playing alongside exciting talent like Haumole Olakau’atu and Kelma Tuilagi.
There are a number of changes to the first grade line up, with Brad Parker being out with a knee injury. Reuben Garrick moves into the centres and Christian Tuipulotu returns on the wing. Josh Schuster is injured and he is replaced in the halves by Cooper Johns. Tuilagi returns from concussion and pushes Ethan Bullemor to the bench. Tom Trbojevic has been named but will need to pass a fitness test on his groin.
It’s hard to know how losing to the Dolphins, after being up by 26 points, will impact the Titans. Gold Coast fans will be hoping that their team comes out breathing fire after being embarrassed last weekend in Brisbane.
The Titans have a solid roster, with Tino Fa’asuamaleaui and Moeaki Fotuaika the standouts in the pack. If they can establish go forward, AJ Brimson can be very dangerous around the ruck. David Fifita, when involved, can create all sorts of problems for the opposition defence.
Justin Holbrook has resisted the urge to make wholesale changes, promoting Klese Haas and Joe Vuna to the bench and dropping Kruise Leeming and Thomas Mikaele. Jojo Fifita and Phil Sami swap positions, with Jojo named at centre.
The Sea Eagles are a different proposition at Brookvale. The Titans will come out with plenty of purpose, but they will come out of this one with nothing to show for it,
