New Zealand Warriors vs Manly Sea Eagles Preview
The Warriors return to Go Media Stadium with the minor premiership still within reach and several important players back in their spine. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad returns from suspension, while Te Maire Martin and Chanel Harris-Tavita have recovered from hamstring injuries to resume in the halves. Wayde Egan and Kurt Capewell are rested, creating starting opportunities for Samuel Healey and Eddie Ieremia-Toeava. Manly has retained the same extended squad that beat St George Illawarra, with Onitoni Large again included after making his NRL debut last round. Tom Trbojevic, Jason Saab and Lehi Hopoate ensure the Sea Eagles carry genuine strike, especially if the contest becomes unstructured. Even with two experienced forwards managed, the Warriors’ restored playmaking combination, home advantage and stronger season-long position make them the more reliable side.
