Manly Sea Eagles vs Wests Tigers Preview

The result left them 4-4 and on a two-game losing streak, but Manly Sea Eagles would have taken plenty of heart from their 40-22 loss to Souths after playing 72 minutes a man short courtesy of Karl Lawton’s send-off.

Manly was in it until the dying minutes, while Daly Cherry-Evans and Kieran Foran were inspirational.

Lawton is suspended and Brad Parker and Jason Saab have succumbed to injury.

But it’s a net positive for the Sea Eagles with Tom Trbojevic, Haumole Olakau’atu and Josh Aloiai returning, Ben Trbojevic is named at centre and Reuben Garrick shifts to the wing.

Following on from back-to-back last-minute eclipses of Parramatta and Souths, Wests Tigers took St George Illawarra down to the wire in Wollongong, ultimately losing 12-6.

It was arguably their best defensive effort of the season, while James Tamou and Alex Twal were immense up front.

The Tigers have been hit with a double injury blow, though, with Luciano Leilua and David Nofoaluma – two of their stronger performers – ruled out.

Alex Seyfarth and Ken Maumalo come into the starting line-up, while Stefano Utoikamanu and Tyrone Peachey are back on the interchange.

After losing five of the teams’ previous six encounters, Manly carved out a pair of big wins over Wests Tigers in 2021 – 40-6 in Round 7 and 44-24 in Round 19, Daly Cherry-Evans scored two tries in both matches.

Besides being a grudge match of sorts in their first showdown since that off-field bust-up in Gladstone, the match-up between Manly skipper DCE and transformed ex-Eagle Jackson Hastings will be vital to the outcome.

Despite ‘Turbo’s’ return and the visitors’ outs, the line looks far too big here given the margin in three of the Tigers’ last four losses was a converted try or less.
