Manly Sea Eagles vs Wests Tigers Preview
Manly will look to stabilise their season when they host the struggling Wests Tigers at 4 Pines Park on Friday night. Fresh from a timely bye, the Sea Eagles are desperate to halt a two-game slide following losses to the Dragons and Rabbitohs. Coach Anthony Seibold has responded with a backline reshuffle, moving Tom Trbojevic to the centres and handing the No.1 jersey to 19-year-old Lehi Hopoate.
The Tigers have shown resilience in recent weeks but remain stuck in a five-game losing streak. Benji Marshall’s side has dropped their last three matches by a combined 12 points, yet mounting injuries continue to disrupt continuity — Jahream Bula is out, and Jarome Luai will line up at fullback in a surprise switch. Latu Fainu steps in at halfback, while Manly faces its own depth test in the forwards, with key absentees including Haumole Olakau’atu.
Recent history favours the hosts, with Manly winning five of the last six meetings. They’ll be eager to reassert their dominance under the lights at Brookvale.
