Sydney Roosters vs Manly Sea Eagles Preview
A trio of Saturday blockbusters concludes with fifth-placed Manly Sea Eagles aiming to leapfrog fourth-placed Sydney Roosters.
The Sea Eagles have won three on the trot and are coming off dominant 44-6 and 38-8 home wins over the Knights and Titans, respectively, with Tom Trojbevic in vintage form.
Riding an impressive four-match winning streak into the Round 19 bye, the Roosters were forced to take stock after a tough 24-8 loss in Melbourne last weekend.
The Roosters are unchanged, while Manly have lost brilliant rookie Lehi Hopoate, which sees Tommy Talau go to the wing and Ben Trbojevic move to centre with Corey Waddell starting in the pack.
The Roosters record of 19 losses from their past 20 games against Penrith and Melbourne garnered plenty of attention in the Round 20 wash-up a serious dent in their credentials. Manly beat both heavyweights this year, as well as carving out a 21-15 upset of the Tricolours at Brookvale in Round 2.
The Roosters have won their last four at the SCG/SFS against the Sea Eagles. But the Sea Eagles boast a 6-3 record between the clubs when Tom Trbojevic plays.
Both teams will be seeking a statement performance and Manly is being given too much latitude as a $2.80 outsider.
