Show Preview
Round 24 of the NRL premiership kicks off tonight when the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles take on the Penrith Panthers at 4 Pines Park in Brookvale. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7:50pm (AEST).
With 4 rounds remaining, finals football has come early for the Sea Eagles. A loss here would, in all likelihood, leave them 2 wins plus point differential away from the top 8. It would be mathematically possible, but extremely unlikely.
Manly will likely regret their 26-16 loss to the Roosters last round. The loss of Matt Lodge early caused problems for an already depleted forward pack. Once the Roosters got a roll on, the Sea Eagles had no answers.
Daly Cherry-Evans has undoubtedly had one of his best seasons. However, he can’t do it by himself. Josh Schuster is a fine player who can display touches of brilliance, but can also drift in and out of games. They need more from their number 6.
In team changes, Sean Keppie comes in for the injured Lodge. Ben Trbojevic will start with Kelma Tuilagi moving to the bench.
The Panthers dismantled the Storm 26-6 last round. We are still a fair way from finals, but Penrith would be at long odds to miss out on another grand final appearance.
The Panthers play the grind better than any other team in the competition. They kick for territory, attack in defence and take advantage of opportunities when they arise. It’s simple but highly effective.
Ivan Cleary has had to make late changes with Jarome Luai and Mitch Kenny ruled out.
Manly’s late season forward injury dramas will hurt them tonight. The Sea Eagles will be playing for survival, but the Panthers should get control of the ruck. If they can do this, I can only see one result. Panthers by 12
