Show Preview
Top four is on the line for the Manly Sea Eagles as they head to Townsville to take on the North Queensland Cowboys. Follow along as Saturday footy continues with live scores on The Roar from 5:30pm (AEST).
Last week’s 38-26 win over the Dragons at least ensures the Cowboys won’t end the season with twelve consecutive losses. While their defence was again leaky, the strength of their attack won the day, with four tries in eight minutes during a barnstorming second half giving fans plenty of upside to take into the off-season.
That said, those defensive lapses will be punished by a Manly side with bigger fish to fry from here. The Roosters’ Thursday night win over the Raiders means the Sea Eagles will have to win here to secure fourth spot; but a loss would be disastrous for more reasons than just their end ladder spot heading into the finals.
Taniela Paseka (ankle) and Sean Keppie (personal) will both make their returns off the bench in Townsville; while for the Cowboys, Coen Hess is back from his biceps injury, with Lachlan Burr to miss through concussion.
