Manly Sea Eagles vs Sydney Roosters Preview

Finals aspirations go on the line in Saturday night’s blockbuster as the 10th-placed Sydney Roosters face the ninth-placed Manly Sea Eagles at 4 Pines Park. With the Roosters aiming to draw level with Manly on 24 competition points, the stakes couldn’t be higher.

Manly’s recent resurgence—highlighted by upset wins over the Storm and Rabbitohs—came to a shuddering halt in last week’s 42-4 thrashing at the hands of the Bulldogs. Adding to the blow, star forward Haumole Olakau’atu has been ruled out for the season, forcing Corey Waddell into the starting lineup.

The Roosters, meanwhile, have lost three of their past four, but their narrow defeat to the Storm showed encouraging signs. James Tedesco and Daniel Tupou turned back the clock with standout performances, while Sam Walker continues to grow in confidence.

The Sea Eagles hold a 6-3 home record, yet the Roosters have proven dangerous on the road, winning five of their last seven away games. Fans can expect a tense, finals-like contest in what looms as a genuine 50-50 battle.
