THE TEAM NEWS
MANLY SEA EAGLES
- Manly Sea Eagles made a strong start to last season but soon fell away and disappointingly failed to make it into the top eight and righting those wrongs has to be the target this year.
- Tom Trbojevic will play for the first time since Round 15 last season as the superstar fullback aims to put a long list of injuries behind him while new signing Luke Brooks will link up with Daly Cherry-Evans in a new-look halves combination.
Starting 13: 1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Jason Saab 3. Tolutau Koula 4. Reuben Garrick 5. Jaxson Paulo 6. Luke Brooks 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Taniela Paseka 9. Lachlan Croker 10. Josh Aloiai 11. Haumole Olakau'atu 12. Ben Trbojevic 13. Jake Trbojevic Bench: 14. Karl Lawton 15. Corey Waddell 16. Ethan Bullemor 17. Nathan Brown Reserves: 18. Jakob Arthur 19. Raymond Tuiamalo Vaega 20. Aaron Woods 21. Tommy Talau 22. Brad Parker
SOUTH SYDNEY RABBITOHS
- South Sydney Rabbitohs looked like Premiership contenders for much of last season but they inexplicably failed to make the play-offs having won just four of their final 13 matches of the campaign.
- New signing Jack Wighton is banned while Campbell Graham is out for a long period which means Richie Kennar will line up at centre with Jacob Gagai debuting on the wing at the age of 28.
Starting 13: 1. Latrell Mitchell 2. Alex Johnston 3. Isaiah Tass 4. Richard Kennar 5. Jacob Gagai 6. Cody Walker 7. Lachlan Ilias 8. Tevita Tatola 9. Damien Cook 10. Sean Keppie 11. Keaon Koloamatangi 12. Jai Arrow 13. Cameron Murray Bench: 14. Siliva Havili 15. Jacob Host 16. Davvy Moale 17. Thomas Burgess Reserves: 18. Tallis Duncan 19. Michael Chee Kam 20. Shaquai Mitchell 21. Peter Mamouzelos 24. Dean Hawkins
THE PREDICTION
Manly Sea Eagles and South Sydney Rabbitohs will get the 2024 NRL season underway at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas. The sport is looking to break into the American market and with a strong crowd expected for this first game of a double-header, it will be up to the players to put on a show. The Bunnies have won the past seven matchups between the two but their side does not look as strong as last season and having finished the year poorly, they could come unstuck in this contest.
TIP: Manly Sea Eagles to win
