Round 21 of the NRL Premiership continues tonight when the Manly Sea Eagles host the Parramatta Eels at 4 Pines Park in Brookvale. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:55pm (AEST).

So, here we go again, Manly and Parra. Apart from both teams battling for a top-eight position, this match-up has many subplots.

How will Manly go with their team back together again, how will the Eels fare without their halfback, and which jersey would Martin Taupau prefer to be wearing? Hopefully we get some answers tonight.

The Sea Eagles’ effort in their 20-10 loss to the Roosters last round was commendable, but it doesn’t tell us a whole lot about what to expect tonight. At the very least, there is some class returning.

Daly Cherry-Evans is in career-best form and, whilst his halves partnership with Kieran Foran is coming to an end soon, their season may not be done yet. For Manly to stay in touch with the eight, a win is essential.

Jason Saab, Christian Tuipulotu, Tolutau Koula, Haumole Olakau’atu and Toafofoa Sipley all return to the first grade line-up.

Andrew Davey has been named despite suffering a head knock last start and Ben Trbojevic returns to the 17.

For the first 30 minutes of their game last week, the Eels played near flawless football. The Panthers were already behind before Nathan Cleary’s departure, and the Eels looked to be winners early.

The scoreline suggests a comfortable win but errors returned in the second half and a 12-man Panthers outfit won the second 40. That has been the story of the Eels all season – sometimes perfect, sometimes poor. Inconsistency doesn’t win premierships.

In a hit to the Eels, Mitchell Moses will be out for a number of weeks with a finger injury. Jake Arthur takes his place.

Prediction

The Sea Eagles’ season goes on the line tonight. Another loss here would spell the end of their 2022 premiership tilt.

The loss of Moses is destabilising for the Eels, and it may take them a few weeks to get used to footy without him.

The Sea Eagles will sneak home.

Sea Eagles by 2.
