Sydney Roosters vs Manly Sea Eagles Preview

The Saturday blockbusters conclude with a key clash between the fifth-placed Manly Sea Eagles and the fourth-placed Sydney Roosters, each team aiming to solidify their spot in the top four.

Manly is riding high with three consecutive wins, including emphatic victories over the Knights and Titans. Tom Trbojevic’s return to form has been a significant factor in their recent success. However, they face a challenge with the loss of rookie Lehi Hopoate, prompting some lineup changes, including Tommy Talau moving to the wing and Ben Trbojevic stepping into the centre.

The Roosters are coming off a tough loss to Melbourne and have been inconsistent against top sides, with a notable record of 19 losses in their last 20 games against teams like Penrith and Melbourne. Despite being unchanged, the Roosters need to bounce back from this defeat to prove their credentials.

Manly’s strong recent form includes a victory over the Roosters earlier in the season and a solid record when Tom Trbojevic plays. However, the Roosters have had the upper hand at the SCG/SFS, winning their last four encounters there against Manly.

With both teams eager to make a statement, Manly’s current form and the Roosters’ struggles against top teams make the Sea Eagles a potentially valuable bet, especially given their outsider status at $2.80.
