Manly Sea Eagles vs Wests Tigers Preview

The first of two inconsequential Round 27 matches sees Manly chase its 11th win of the season and Wests Tigers their fifth.

The Sea Eagles’ finals flame was officially snuffed out via a plucky 29-22 loss to the Warriors in Round 25, but they responded with a 42-24 defeat of the Bulldogs last Sunday with Jason Saab taking his tally to five tries in two games with a double.

The wooden-spoon-bound Tigers snapped a 10-match losing streak with a 24-23 nail-biter against the Dolphins a fortnight ago, before going down 32-8 to the Roosters last weekend.

Dean Matterson replaces Kelma Tuilagi on the bench in Manly’s only change, with Josh Schuster left out again.

Alex Twal and Jake Simpkin return for the Tigers but Stefano Utoikamanu and John Bateman will miss the last game of the season.

Api Koroisau is named at halfback, while centre Joseh Feledy and interchange Kit Laulilii get NRL debuts.

The Sea Eagles have won their last five against the Tigers, including a 22-16 victory at Campbelltown in Round 8. The previous four encounters were decided by 14-plus.

Twelfth-placed Manly has lost just one game to a team currently lower than them on the ladder and are looking to improve on a 5-4 record at 4 Pines Park this season.

Another high-scoring win for DCE and the Sea Eagles is on the cards.
