THE TEAM NEWS

MANLY SEA EAGLES

• Manly Sea Eagles were unable to build on their impressive win over Canberra Raiders as they fell to defeat in their clash with Newcastle Knights last time out.
• The Sea Eagles were under-strength for that game but will be fresher on the back of their bye and are boosted by the return of key man Tom Trbojevic after he was cleared to play following a head knock in Origin.

Starting 13: T. Trbojevic, Saab, Koula, Garrick, Tuipulotu, Schuster, Cherry-Evans, Paseka, Croker, Sipley, Olakau’atu, Fainu, Keppie – Interchanges: Lawton, Aloiai, Bullemor, Condon – Reserves: Weekes, Arthur

Unavailable: Aaron Woods (Injured), Kelma Tuilagi (Injured), Jake Trbojevic (Injured), Ben Trbojevic (Injured), Brad Parker (Injured)

DOLPHINS

• The Dolphins were no match for New Zealand Warriors last week as their inconsistent run of form continued with their L-W sequence now standing at nine matches.
• The expansion side were without a handful of important players for that trip across the ditch but are boosted by Queensland Origin hero Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow.

Starting 13: Tabuai-Fidow, Isaako, Aitken, B. Lee, Niu, Milford, Katoa, J. Bromwich, Marshall-King, Faamausili, K. Bromwich, Lemuelu, Stone – Interchanges: Ese’ese, Nicholls, Donoghoe, Te Whare – Reserves: Plath, Bostock

Unavailable: Sean O’Sullivan (Injured), Felise Kaufusi (Suspended), Tom Gilbert (Injured), Jarrod Wallace (Suspended), Anthony Milford (Suspended)

THE PREDICTION

Manly Sea Eagles were underwhelming in their loss to Newcastle Knights but will hope the week off has rejuvenated them as they host the Dolphins. The Sea Eagles have lost four of their last five so the pressure is on here but the away side’s inconsistency makes them a beatable opponent. They are still without a few of their first-choice players for this game and with Manly’s side starting to look stronger, the home side can do what is required to prevail in this encounter.
