Manly Sea Eagles vs Gold Coast Titans Preview
Another crunch game with seventh-placed Manly hosting fellow in-form, 14th-placed outfit Gold Coast and Des Haslers return to Brookvale adding another edge to this encounter.
The Sea Eagles have emerged from a season-threatening 2-5 run to win their last two: a gutsy 21-20 golden point victory in Townsville and a 44-6 rout of Newcastle at home.
With linchpin Daly Cherry-Evans and Jake Trbojevic in Origin camp, the thrashing of the Knights was inspired by Tom Trbojevics return to fullback, and young guns Lehi Hopoate and Jamie Humphreys.
DCE and Jurbo are set to back up, while Ben Trbojevic returns from concussion protocols.
The Titans remain an outside chance of finals footy after three straight wins, following up a 66-6 blitz of the Warriors with hard-fought victories over the Sharks (20-16) and Eels (24-16).
Jayden Campbell stole the show against Parramatta, while AJ Brimson returned from injury at fullback but has again been named 18th man expect a late switch with boom utility Keano Kini likely to start from the bench.
Moeaki Fotuaika is named to play after featuring for Queensland in the decider.
The teams have split their last 10 encounters, after back-to-back wins for the Titans in 2022-23 (including a 26-10 victory at 4 Pines Park last year), the Sea Eagles held on 34-30 on the Gold Coast in Round 7 this season.
Ominously for the Titans, Tom Trbojevic has scored six tries in his last three games against them.
Both sides are stacked with speed and strike out wide, revolving around veteran No.7s and former premiership partners Cherry-Evans and Kieran Foran.
The Sea Eagles 6-1 record at 4 Pines Park is reason enough to get behind the $1.42 favourites.
