Show Preview
The Manly Sea Eagles will be looking to get back on track while the New Zealand Warriors will be looking to solidify their place in the top eight when they meet at Lottoland today. Stay up to date with all of the action on The Roar with live scores from 2pm (AEST).
The Sea Eagles squeaked through with victory with a drop-goal finish the last time these two teams met in round 5. The Sea Eagles go into this one with the overall advantage in matches between these two, winning 25 of the 36 previous games.
Manly currently sit in 10th place will want to continue their run of good form after winning three on the trot before a comedown against Penrith last week. Their form over the last month has been outstanding, pushing the top of the table Panthers all the way to the end. They will come into this one with plenty of confidence, and they will have to, after losing their last six games played at Lottoland.
The Sea Eagles will be without props Josh Aloiai and Martin Taupau, with Sean Keppie moving into the front row. Haumole Olakau’atu moves from the interchange to the second row. Centre Moses Suli will make his return to the team via the interchange bench while Jorge Taufua has been named to the reserves and is an outside chance to make his first start for the year.
The Warriors have won their last two out of three and had a close win over the Cowboys, holding on in the final minutes to secure the victory. Ben Murdoch-Masila is out after suffering a head knock in last week’s victory. This sees a return for Eliesa Katoa into the second row after playing the last few weeks in the Queensland Cup. Chanel Harris-Tevita has been named on the reserves and is a chance to return after recovering from his foot injury.
The Key Matchup: Tom Trbojevic vs Roger Tuivasa-Sheck – this battle of fullbacks is of the highest order. Since Turbo has come back into the team, Manly has been flying, while RTS has been the heart and soul of the Warriors team this year as usual. The team whose player wins this battle will most likely win the game.
Manly are coming off a hot run of form. Getting back Trbojevic has been a godsend for this squad and they will be looking to continue their march into the top eight. Meanwhile, the Warriors have been their usual up and down selves who will be wanting to continue to improve their position.
