Manly Sea Eagles vs Cronulla Sharks Preview

Manly Sea Eagles, buoyed by a stunning 34-22 victory over Canterbury, are now eyeing a home elimination final at 4 Pines Park with a win over Cronulla. However, their triumph was overshadowed by injuries to Tom Trbojevic and Jason Saab. Tolu Koula steps in at fullback, with Clayton Faulalo replacing Saab on the wing, and Ben Trbojevic returns to the bench.

Cronulla’s strong run of form was halted by a narrow 30-28 defeat to the Warriors, potentially derailing their top-two aspirations. They need to avoid a heavy loss here and hope for favourable results elsewhere to secure a top-four finish. Jesse Ramien and Ronaldo Mulitalo return for the Sharks, while Nicho Hynes struggles to regain his form after an eight-week layoff.

Manly has dominated recent encounters with Cronulla, winning 19 of the last 25 matches, including a 30-26 victory in Round 21 last season. Despite Trbojevic’s absence, the Sea Eagles have made 4 Pines Park a fortress with five straight wins and are favoured to edge out the Sharks, who are looking to bounce back from their recent stumble.
