Show Preview
The NRL continues this afternoon with the traditional clash between the Sea Eagles and Knights coming to you from Lottoland in Sydney. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match starting from 4.05pm (AEST).
The rivalry between these two sides run deep, with the iconic face-off between Mark Carroll and Paul Harragon still remembered by every fan. However, this match takes on extra importance this weekend, with both teams desperate to avoid back to back losses.
The Sea Eagles have endured a tough schedule over the last month and, with Tom Trbojevic on the sidelines, it showed last weekend against the Sharks.
Des Hasler’s side prides itself on its defence but they were out-enthused by Cronulla.
Moses Suli will be a welcome boost to the backline, replacing Brendan Elliot. Marty Taupau has been named to start, but it wouldn’t surprise to see Sean Keppie again start in his place.
Adam O’Brien didn’t mince words after the Knights loss to the Cowboys last weekend, accusing his team of complacency.
This showed on the scoreboard, with the Knights down 26-0 at half-time. They did threaten a second-half comeback, but the damage was done.
In team changes, Bradman Best returns from his week of quarantine, in place of Gehamat Shibasaki. Herman Ese’ese will start at lock with Tim Glasby out after failing a head impact assessment last weekend.
Prediction
Tom Trbojevic’s injury is of course a major blow to the Sea Eagles and their win-loss record without him on the field is depressing reading for Manly fans.
You need to counter that though with their outstanding recent record against the Knights and a return to their spiritual home at Lottoland.
We saw Manly’s ability to grind out a win over the Raiders a fortnight ago. I think we will see that again this weekend.
