THE TEAM NEWS
MANLY SEA EAGLES
- Manly Sea Eagles were able to get off the mark for the season as they claimed their first victory in their clash with Canterbury Bulldogs last week but it was far from a convincing performance.
- The Sea Eagles needed a late Daly Cherry-Evans field goal to get the job done as they edged the Bulldogs by a solitary point but they will need to be better here and they have been forced into a change with Brad Parker dropping out for Tolutau Koula.
Starting 13: T. Trbojevic, Saab, Harper, Koula, Garrick, Foran, Cherry-Evans, Keppie, Croker, Taupau, Olakau’atu, Davey, J. Trbojevic – Interchanges: Walker, Lawton, Bullemor, Paseka – Reserves: Tuipulotu, Aloiai
Unavailable: Josh Schuster, Brad Parker
CANBERRA RAIDERS
- Canberra Raiders pulled off a remarkable comeback as they overturned a 22-point deficit to snatch a late win in their clash with Gold Coast Titans last week and they will have taken plenty from that success.
- It was a dominant second half showing from the Raiders as they built some momentum and didn’t look back and they are further boosted here by the return of winger Nick Cotric after he overcame a quad injury.
Starting 13: Nicoll-Klokstad, Cotric, Timoko, Valemei, Rapana, Wighton, Schneider, Papalii, Starling, Tapine, Young, Harawira-Naera, Whitehead – Interchanges: Frawley, Guler, Elliott, Horsburgh – Reserves: Savage, Sutton
Unavailable: Jamal Fogarty, Harley Smith-Shields, Josh Hodgson, Sebastian Kris
THE PREDICTION
Manly Sea Eagles got off the mark for the campaign but they still failed to impress as they earned a narrow win against Canterbury Bulldogs last week. They will be desperate to kick on now and will hope to play in better conditions this week which should help their free-flowing attacking play. They take on a buoyant Canberra Raiders outfit that fought back from going 0-22 down to claim a win over Gold Coast Titans last week. The away side will be on a huge high following that success and while they are capable of building on it, the Sea Eagles are just preferred to prevail on home soil where they are generally difficult to beat.
