THE TEAM NEWS
WESTS TIGERS
- Wests Tigers finally lost patience with head coach Michael Maguire as he was relieved of his duties earlier in the week with Brett Kimmorley stepping in on an interim basis until the club find a replacement.
- Maguire’s tenure was brought to an end on the back of a 44-18 loss to South Sydney Rabbitohs last time out to make it three losses in four for Wests but they are able to call upon David Nofoaluma and Jacob Liddle for this contest.
Starting 13: Laurie, Nofoaluma, To’a, Naden, Maumalo, Brooks, Hastings, Tamou, Liddle, Musgrove, Garner, Leilua, Ofahengaue – Interchanges: Madden, Twal, Tuilagi, Seyfarth – Reserves: Brown, Pole, Simpkin, Tupou, Dias
Unavailable: Shawn Blore, Adam Doueihi, Tommy Talau, James Roberts, Oliver Gildart, Asu Kepaoa, Stefano Utoikamanu
MANLY SEA EAGLES
- Manly Sea Eagles avoided a fourth straight defeat as they comfortably defeated New Zealand Warriors last week and they will be confident of making it back-to-back successes in this clash.
- The Sea Eagles have defeated Wests Tigers in their past three matchups and with Daly Cherry-Evans looking likely to return to the side as he backs up from State of Origin duty, head coach Des Hasler will fancy his chances in this one.
Starting 13: Garrick, Saab, Harper, Koula, Tuipulotu, Foran, Cherry-Evans, Aloiai, Croker, Sipley, Olakau’atu, Davey, J. Trbojevic – Interchanges: Walker, Schuster, Taupau, Keppie – Reserves: Paseka, Bullemor, Weekes, De Luis, Taufua
Unavailable: Brad Parker, Karl Lawton, Morgan Boyle, Ben Trbojevic, Tom Trbojevic
THE PREDICTION
Wests Tigers finally parted ways with Michael Maguire in a sacking that was a long time coming and the club will hope it signals a change in fortunes moving forward. They take a tricky test to improve on their recent run of form as they take on a potentially dangerous Manly Sea Eagles outfit and with the visitors coming into this having posted 44 points in their most recent outing, they will have to show more defensively if they are to topple Manly. There could be more to come from this Wests side with a new man at the helm but Manly are favoured to get the better of them here and make it four straight successes against their opponents.
