The 25-year-old South Sydney (since 1908) 38000 points 11 points has scored three tries this season, his most since 2018 and an incredible 45 offloads in just 14 matches. The backrower is getting through a mountain of work, averaging 122 run metres and 28 tackles per game. Now, Pangai Junior is one of Match stats courtesy of the more inconsistent players in the competition but if it’s his night, it could cause trouble for the Rabbitohs. The tackle breaking machine has recorded four tackle breaks or more in five of his matches so far this season and has recorded three or more offloads in eight matches so far this season. If he’s firing, he’ll be a handful for the Rabbitohs defence.

NEXT THREE: BRISBANE Favourite: Souths are the favourite for the Thursday night clash and for good R16 CRONULLA HOME SUNCORP reason. They’ve only recorded three losses so far this season, twice against R17 BYE Melbourne and once against Penrith, but they’ve dealt with every other side that R18 WESTS TIGERS HOME SUNCORP has stood in their path. The Broncos have once again struggled this year and that’s highlighted by their embarrassing 31 points conceded per game.

NEXT THREE: SOUTH SYDNEY My tip: South Sydney should be too strong for the Broncos, in the process giving R16 WESTS TIGERS AWAY LEICHHARDT Bennett another victory over the club that forced him out after the 2018 season. R17 NORTH QLD HOME STAD. AUS. The Rabbitohs should comfortably deal with the Broncos just as they did earlier in R18 CANTERBURY HOME STAD. AUS. the season. South Sydney by 18.

LIVE BLOG LeagueUnlimited.com The Sharks got out to an early lead against Penrith minus their origin stars and MATCH OFFICIALS were able to hold off a Matt Burton inspired comeback to win by a point. REFEREE Peter GOUGH Both sides are amongst the group of 8 or so teams vying to get into the bottom TOUCH JUDGES Wyatt RAYMOND of the top 8, and despite the results last week, the Cowboys remain two Liam KENNEDY competition points ahead of the Sharks. NRL BUNKER Matt NOYEN It means that a win could potentially see them go 4 points ahead of the next highest teams and put them in a comfortable position to continue their charge towards finals football, while a loss would put them even with the Sharks and Match Stats make the race for the top 8 even more chaotic.

HEAD TO HEAD: 51 MATCHES Both sides will be well aware of the high stakes, so expect the best versions of CRONULLA 33-18 (no draws) both the Cowboys and Sharks to be present in Townsville on Friday evening. At QLD Country Bank Stadium: 1 match, Cronulla 1-0 In team news, the Cowboys regain origin winger Kyle Feldt, who comes into the side for Justin O’Neill, who was poor defensively last week. Coen Hess will start LAST TEN: CRONULLA 8-2 at prop, pushing Tom Gilbert back to the bench, while Mitch Dunn returns from SEASON ROUND RESULT VENUE CROWD suspension to partner Shane Wright in the back row.

Siosifa Talakai will start in his place, while Teig Wilton is promoted to 2018 R23 Cronulla 28-16 Pointsbet Stadium 12,270 the interchange bench. 2019 R3 Cronulla 42-16 1300Smiles 11,610 After taking over the Sharks head coaching job in Round 6, it took Josh Hannay 6 2019 R19 Cronulla 16-14 Sharks Stadium 6,144 weeks to get his first win in charge of the Cronulla boys. They have since gone on 2020 R4 Cronulla 26-16 QLD Country Bank - a 3-game winning streak and the halves pairing of Moylan and Johnson appear 2020 R16 Cronulla 28-12 Netstrata Jubilee 2,217 to be back in form. 2021 R4 Cronulla 48-10 Netstrata Jubilee 5,119 The Cowboys have undergone a similar trajectory of improving as the season BIGGEST WINS went on, however last week’s performance was simply inexcusable. They will 2005 R13 North Qld 56-14 1300Smiles 20,843 be back at home and defensive issues on the right should be rectified with the inclusion of Feldt, and it’ll need to be considering the recent explosive form of 2021 R4 Cronulla 48-10 Netstrata Jubilee 5,119 Ramien and Mulitalo. MILESTONES Who to watch: Despite consistently putting up performances matching that of a PLAYER MILESTONE NEEDS... top 5 half in the competition, Shaun Johnson remains without a playing contract Jesse Ramien (CRO) 100 career points 8 points beyond this year in one of the most baffling scenarios in recent memory. Last Matt Moylan (CRO) 200 career points 6 points year, he led the league in try assists, while this year he has also proven his ability Sione Katoa (CRO) 100 club & career points 2 points to close out a close game, specifically last week where he not only made the line Cronulla (since 1967) 4100 goals 2 goals break to get the Sharks in field position to kick the drop goal, but also backed this up by kicking what would turn out to be the matchwinner a few tackles later. He will want to continue this impressive form to appeal to any potential suitors Match stats courtesy of out there.

For the Cowboys, Murray Taulagi has seemingly come out of the woodwork to announce himself as one of the best wingers in the competition. He’s scored 5 tries in his last 3 games and in a well beaten side last week still managed to run for 101 metres and make 4 tackle breaks and a line break. He will be keen to take advantage of the matchup against Will Chambers, who has only just returned to Rugby League, and Connor Tracey, who isn’t a natural winger. NEXT THREE: NORTH QUEENSLAND R16 NEWCASTLE AWAY McD. JONES Favourite: The Cowboys are slight favourites to get the job done at home. R17 SOUTH SYDNEY AWAY STAD. AUS. R18 SYDNEY HOME QLD C.B. My tip: The Sharks absolutely put the Cowboys to the sword when they met earlier in the year, racing out to a 36-6 halftime lead.

VENUE Bluebet Stadium, Penrith NSW WATCH Nine Network & 9Now, Fox League & Kayo Sports After dropping two-straight games, Penrith will aim to right the ship against a Roosters side that has constantly shown the pluck Cleary desperately needed in LISTEN ABC, 2GB, 4BC the past fortnight. LIVE BLOG LeagueUnlimited.com Fortunately for the Panthers they welcome back the full Origin contingent this week with Nathan Cleary, Jarome Luai and Isaah Yeo’s returns particularly MATCH OFFICIALS important. REFEREE Ashley KLEIN Penrith were hardly threatening in the first half last week against Cronulla. TOUCH JUDGES Phil HENDERSON Tyrone May only had a passing game at his disposal, refusing to take the line on Dave MUNRO or share the kicking duties with Matt Burton. This may have been the coaching NRL BUNKER Henry PERENARA call of Cleary or a reflection of May’s limited skillset as a player better suited to being a ball-playing forward. Instead he was thrown into the No. 7 jersey and drifted across field, easy to defend given it was unlikely he would run or kick.

Match Stats Burton too struggled in the first half with an inaccurate kicking game while he did not record a single run metre. It was the young five-eighth though that HEAD TO HEAD: 92 MATCHES provided the much-needed spark to inspire a second-half fightback that just fell short when a poor fifth-tackle option exposed Penrith’s lack of direction without SYDNEY 56-36 (1 DRAW) Cleary and Luai. At Bluebet Stadium: 47 matches, Sydney 26-21 May’s poor performances in the past two weeks and the emergence of young gun Izack Tago has seen the utility dumped to the reserves.

Everyone has been waiting for the Roosters 2019 R24 Sydney 22-6 S.C.G. 11,311 to fall away as the injuries pile up but Robinson’s ability to inspire continues to 2020 R1 Penrith 20-14 BlueBet Stadium 10,160 carry them forward. The Tricolours also are boosted by key inclusions with James Tedesco, Sam Verrills and Siosiua Taukeiaho returning while Billy Smith 2020 FN Penrith 29-28 BlueBet Stadium 7,209 has been named on the bench. BIGGEST WINS A victory over the Panthers on Friday will see the Roosters draw within two 2009 R11 Penrith 48-6 BlueBet Stadium 8,515 points of last year’s ladder leaders – although with a bye already up their sleeve. 2013 R21 Sydney 42-6 BlueBet Stadium 11,879 The Roosters were admittedly less than convincing last week in the one-point win over the Gold Coast and can expect a fired up Penrith unit bolstered by big MILESTONES inclusions. PLAYER MILESTONE NEEDS... Who to watch: So much was made about the loss of Cleary and Luai in the Brian To'o (PEN) 100 club & career points 8 points past fortnight but Isaah Yeo’s absence was also telling. The Tigers and Sharks Liam Martin (PEN) 50 club & career games 1 game exposed Penrith’s sloppy ruck defence without the tireless Yeo in the middle Angus Crichton (SYD) 100 career points 4 points cleaning up for others. Not only that but Yeo also was key to NSW’s dominant Sitili Tupouniua (SYD) 50 club & career games 1 game Origin I victory, linking with the halves on both sides of the field with quick Sydney Roosters (since 1908) 7400 goals 5 goals passes. Yeo is crucial to the flow of Penrith’s attack on both sides of the field and without that link in the chain the Panthers looked rudderless.

Match stats courtesy of Meanwhile, the injury setback for Kikau sees Martin into the starting side for Penrith and he lines up against the man gunning to take his spot in the Blues side. A fellow Temora product, Angus Crichton missed the opener through suspension. Martin did not put a foot wrong as he physically imposed himself with an aggressive stint off the bench. Crichton though has proven himself a consistently strong performer at rep level so he will only strengthen his chances of selection by exposing his opposite man in Crichton.

While his club coach has been swift in erring Queensland against selecting Walsh, the teenage sensation may force the Maroons to bet the house with a strong performance opposing Kalyn Ponga.

Favourite: While both teams have come away with four wins apiece since 2017, the returning cavalry has the Knights favoured to prevail on home soil.

WATCH Fox League & Kayo Sports LISTEN ABC, MIX Canberra, Triple M BNE, 2GB, 4BC Sitting equally on twelve competition points, the Dragons and Raiders are in the midst of a logjam of teams on the ladder where just four points separates 7th to LIVE BLOG LeagueUnlimited.com 14th position.

With the Origin period now in full swing, traditionally this is the time of year MATCH OFFICIALS where teams can make a move by stringing a few wins together positioning REFEREE Chris SUTTON themselves favourably for the run home. TOUCH JUDGES Nick BEASHEL Jon STONE After a positive start to the year, the Dragons form has gradually fallen away NRL BUNKER Alan SHORTALL and they’ll be hurting after a lacklustre display which saw them go down to the Bulldogs in last Monday’s annual Queen’s Birthday contest.

If their form wasn’t worrying enough, they are also dealing with the distraction Match Stats of media attention in the wake of recent news key men Matt Dufty and Corey Norman have been told their services will no longer be required past this HEAD TO HEAD: 32 MATCHES season.

CANBERRA 20-11 (1 DRAW) Coach Anthony Griffin named an unchanged 17 less than 24 hours after their At WIN Stadium: 9 matches, Canberra 5-3, 1 draw loss to Canterbury, but it wouldn’t surprise to see changes on game day as Griffin ponders his team’s form over the course of the week. Zac Lomax has been LAST TEN: 5-ALL named in the reserves and is one obvious change if he can prove his fitness after SEASON ROUND RESULT VENUE CROWD recovering from a thumb injury. 2013 R20 Canberra 22-18 WIN Stadium 12,072 2014 R23 St Geo Illa 34-16 GIO Stadium 10,318 Also struggling for form in recent times, the Raiders bounced back into the 2015 R3 St Geo Illa 22-20 GIO Stadium 11,774 winner’s stall last week with a commanding win at home over the Broncos. 2015 R10 St Geo Illa 32-18 WIN Stadium 13,102 Given the Dragons also carved up Brisbane the week prior, a question still remains as to whether the Raiders have turned a corner. 2016 R10 St Geo Illa 16-12 Netstrata Jubilee 9,647 2017 R19 Canberra 18-14 GIO Stadium 10,977 Before last week, it appeared their Premiership window may have closed but 2018 R11 St Geo Illa 25-18 Glen Willow Oval 8,962 they are a team capable of finding form quickly once they start to string wins 2019 R17 Canberra 36-14 WIN Stadium 9,159 together and their 3 big dogs – Josh Papalii, Jack Wighton and Josh Hodgson all 2020 R8 Canberra 22-16 GIO Stadium 1,420 look to be back to something like their best. 2020 R18 Canberra 37-8 WIN Stadium 2,588 In just the one change to their victorious 17 last week, Iosia Soliola drops back to BIGGEST WINS the bench with Ryan Sutton named to start at Lock. 1999 R7 St Geo Illa 44-2 Netstrata Jubilee 12,237 Who to watch: After a strong run-on debut at Origin level for the Blues last 2007 R17 St Geo Illa 58-16 WIN Stadium 7,561 week, back-rower Tariq Sims looked very lacklustre backing up for the Red V 2020 R18 Canberra 37-8 WIN Stadium 2,588 on Monday missing five tackles and running the football just five times for 54 metres. Noticeably lifting for the occasion in Origin one, Sims was going hard MILESTONES on both sides of the ball and came up with that beautiful offload in the first half PLAYER MILESTONE NEEDS... to send Brian To’o over. Dragons fans would have been hoping Sims could bring Corey Norman (SGI) 100 club points 11 points some of that form back to club level where he can be guilty of coasting at times. With the Roosters Angus Crichton back from suspension, Sims should be going Gerard Beale (SGI) 200 career points 4 points into this game with the mindset of needing a big game to hold his rep jersey. St Geo Illa (since 1999) 12000 points 15 points Apart from the return to form from some of their stars last week, the Raiders Match stats courtesy of would have been most impressed by the performance of Bailey Simonsson who was given a crack at the custodian role. With Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad sidelined for the year and Caleb Aekins failing to hold down that role in his absence, Simonsson looked to revel in the chance to get his hands on the ball more often. Running for 243 metres, Simonsson also notched up six tackles busts, three offloads and two try-assists. If the former winger can put in a similar performance this week, he’ll be well on the way to cementing that number one jersey for the remainder of the year

LIVE BLOG LeagueUnlimited.com While Ivan Cleary has nursed his stars through the Origin period, Craig Bellamy has kept the pedal on the floor amid an 11 game winning streak.

MATCH OFFICIALS And with a host of Melbourne based Queenslanders still burning after last REFEREE Gerard SUTTON week’s Blues onslaught, you can be sure the evolving Tigers will need to bring TOUCH JUDGES Todd SMITH their best defence. Nick MOREL NRL BUNKER Matt NOYEN Still only two points clear of the fourth placed Rabbitohs, there is a sense Bellamy’s strategy is to show the struggling teams no remorse in an attempt to skyrocket his side’s for-and-against. So far this season, the premiers have scored an average of 39 points per match in their nine victories against sides Match Stats placed outside the current top-six.

HEAD TO HEAD: 33 MATCHES Even with Cameron Munster below his best and Ryan Papenhuyzen sidelined, the Storm haven’t skipped a beat thanks to an endless supply of strike power MELBOURNE 21-12 (no draws) fronted by Brandon Smith and the Cronulla bound Nicho Hynes. At Sunshine Coast Stadium: 1 match, Melbourne 1-0 And this week, the return of props Nelson Asofa-Solomona and Christian Welch LAST TEN: MELBOURNE 6-4 will only add to the enormity of the Tigers’ task. SEASON ROUND RESULT VENUE CROWD 2013 R16 Wests Tigers 22-4 5,288 Whether the Tigers have the firepower to combat Bellamy’s purple haze 2014 R21 Melbourne 28-6 Campbelltown 7,782 remains to be seen. But to have any chance, they’ll need to improve on last 2015 R21 Wests Tigers 34-16 Leichhardt Oval 7,419 week’s disjointed effort against the Eels at Bankwest Stadium. 2016 R7 Melbourne 19-18 Leichhardt Oval 9,216 Even though Parramatta used a one man advantage to blow Wests away after 2016 R16 Melbourne 29-20 AAMI Park 14,412 the break, the fact is, with only a 30 per cent share of first half possession the 2017 R4 Melbourne 22-14 Leichhardt Oval 12,649 Tigers were always chasing their tail. 2018 R2 Wests Tigers 10-8 AAMI Park 18,189 2018 R5 Wests Tigers 11-10 Mt Smart Stadium 25,600 This week Maguire will bank on the return of Moses Mbye to stabilise the Tigers’ 2019 R10 Melbourne 24-22 AAMI Park 11,402 halves. But any gain there is offset by the loss of the injured Adam Doueihi in a 2020 R19 Melbourne 50-22 Sunshine Coast 4,121 move that sees James Roberts shift off the wing to his more favoured position at centre.

BIGGEST WINS In another quirk in a season of many, new Tigers winger Ken Maumalo will 2001 R5 Wests Tigers 40-10 Leichhardt Oval 11,206 tackle the Storm for the second time within seven days. Fresh after scoring a 2001 R18 Melbourne 64-0 Marvel Stadium 10,683 hat-trick of tries in his Warriors swansong, a repeat performance will go a long way to securing the Tigers a fourth win from their last six starts. MILESTONES PLAYER MILESTONE NEEDS... Who to watch: With Harry Grant’s return to Melbourne, all the talk at the start of Cameron Munster (MEL) 200 club & career points 3 points the season was about an oversupply of No.9s. Now in tandem with the versatile George Jennings (MEL) 100 career points 4 points Brandon Smith, Craig Bellamy has added to the Storm’s potency. Having already crossed for seven tries this season, the affable Kiwi is now on a run of six from Justin Olam (MEL) 100 club & career points 4 points as many games where his wombat-like burrowing outside of Grant has proved unstoppable. Match stats courtesy of Jacob Liddle has no trouble crossing the stripe either. Having been forced to fight for his spot in Wests’ lineup since 2016, the nippy hooker’s speed has taken him across the line five times this season. Now injury free and with over 50 top grade appearances, Michael Maguire has seen enough to keep him on the books until at least the end of the 2023 season.

Favourite: Yet to taste defeat on the Sunshine Coast, Melbourne are short priced favourites to make it eight straight at their home away from home.

LISTEN ABC, 2GB, 4BC LIVE BLOG LeagueUnlimited.com The Eels come into this clash off the back of a comfortable 40-12 victory over the Wests Tigers, a victory that pushed them to 3rd on the NRL ladder and hanging out with the big boys.

MATCH OFFICIALS Canterbury... well. Wow. Absolutely dismantling the St George Illawarra REFEREE Matt CECCHIN Dragons on Monday 28-6, and despite my doom and gloom match preview TOUCH JUDGES Kasey BADGER last week, providing this author with a lovely cash injection, having taken the Darian FURNER Bulldogs 13+ option. Reverse psychology works! (gamble responsibly!) NRL BUNKER Henry PERENARA In team news, Parramatta winger Maika Sivo is out (suspended), paving the way for Eels junior Sean Russell to make his NRL debut on the wing. Another Match Stats debutant - Nathaniel Roache - comes in on the bench. Keegan Hipgrave also joins HEAD TO HEAD: 149 MATCHES the interchange, replacing Bryce Cartwright who is demoted to the reserves.

After moving back to fullback (you know, his actual position), At Bankwest Stadium: 2 matches, 1-all Nick Meaney will now hopefully stay there, after a superb performance in the custodian role. What have I been saying? Ahem... LAST TEN: PARRAMATTA 8-2 SEASON ROUND RESULT VENUE CROWD Last time they met was in Round 8 this year at Stadium Australia, with 2016 R9 Parramatta 20-12 Stadium Australia 31,815 Parramatta having the match wrapped up inside the first 20 minutes, eventually 2017 R17 Parramatta 13-12 Stadium Australia 14,061 running out 32-10 winners. 2017 R22 Parramatta 20-4 Stadium Australia 12,137 2018 R10 Canterbury 20-12 Stadium Australia 15,683 Who to watch: Mitch Moses was brilliant on the weekend for the Eels (even 2018 R19 Parramatta 14-8 Stadium Australia 8,437 allowing for being a bit lippy with teammates), and Clint Gutherson absolutely 2019 R2 Parramatta 36-16 Stadium Australia 20,134 destroyed the Bulldogs last time they played. If these two turn it on this 2019 R23 Canterbury 12-6 Bankwest Stadium 18,071 weekend, Parramatta win this comfortably. 2020 R1 Parramatta 8-2 Bankwest Stadium 21,363 2020 R12 Parramatta 18-16 Stadium Australia 5,775 Besides the already mentioned fullback playing at fullback finally, Jake Averillo’s 2021 R8 Parramatta 32-10 Stadium Australia 13,273 performance at #7 was easily his best in a Bulldogs jersey. He will need to keep going with this form if the Doggies are to be any chance this week. He took the line on, passed well, and his Rugby League brain was there for all to see. Much BIGGEST WINS tougher challenge this week, though! 1993 R5 Cantebrury 42-6 Belmore 27,804 2005 R23 Parramatta 56-4 Pirtek Stadium 20,289 Favourite: At the time of writing, the Eels are $1.08, the Bulldogs $8. Parramatta comfortable favourites. MILESTONES PLAYER MILESTONE NEEDS... My tip: The Bulldogs are back in form, and this is the kind of fixture that could Bryce Cartwright (PAR) 100 career points 4 points trouble the Eels. You never know, but the Eels just have to replicate their Dallin Watene-Zelezniak (CBY) 200 career points 4 points performance last week - or last time these two played - and they should come Josh Jackson (CBY) 100 club & career points 4 points away with the two points.

24 | LEAGUEUNLIMITED.COM | THE FRONT ROW | VOL 2 ISSUE 15 #NRLTitansManly Match Preview MATCH DETAILS DATE Sunday 20 June 2021 with Josh Robertson KICKOFF 4:05pm AEST The final contest of Round 14 comes to us from sunny Queensland with the Gold VENUE Cbus Super Stadium, Robina QLD Coast Titans looking to snap a three-game losing streak as they take on the WATCH Nine Network & 9Now, Fox League & Kayo Sports Manly Sea Eagles, who themselves are boosted by the return of Tom Trbojevic. LISTEN ABC, Triple M SYD / BNE, NRL Nation The Gold Coast season has been one more like a Movie World Rollercoaster LIVE BLOG LeagueUnlimited.com than a walk in the park with many promising signs intertwined with some pretty average moments which has shown that fortunes haven’t changed too much with the Titans sitting in twelfth spot on the ladder with just 5 wins so far this MATCH OFFICIALS season. REFEREE Grant ATKINS TOUCH JUDGES Michael WISE It was almost the miracle of all miracles for the Gold Coast Titans last weekend RAYMONDWyatt as they briefly overturned a 26-point deficit before ultimately falling to a 35-34 NRL BUNKER Ashley KLEIN defeat to the Sydney Roosters at Cbus Super Stadium last Saturday. The Titans were blown off the park for the fifty minutes of the contest as they trailed the 30-4 before the wheels the comb came off the Roosters crow and the Titans were able to find their mojo and score 30 unanswered points to lead 34-30. The Match Stats Roosters fought back to level the scores and ultimately take the victory.

HEAD TO HEAD: 22 MATCHES This weekend, the Titans lose veteran forward through MANLY-WARRINGAH 12-10 (no draws) suspension with Moeaki Fotuaika returning to the side with Jaimin Joliffe At Cbus Super Staidum: 11 matches, Manly-Warringah 7-4 dropping back to the bench. The Titans have also named David Fifita and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui in the starting side after both backed up from Origin on the bench. AJ Brimson is a chance of returning from injury having been named in LAST TEN: 5-ALL the reserves by coach . SEASON ROUND RESULT VENUE CROWD 2014 R23 Manly 15-12 Cbus Super 11,940 The Manly Sea Eagles started the season like a stone thrown into the ocean off 2015 R18 Manly 38-6 Cbus Super 9,632 Manly beach but very quickly the Sea Eagles found their wings as they went 2016 R15 Gold Coast 30-10 Cbus Super 8,278 on 8 of their next 10 matches to sit in sixth spot on with seven wins from their 2017 R11 Manly 30-10 Cbus Super 12,509 thirteen matches this season. 2018 R5 Gold Coast 32-20 Marley Brown Oval 5,135 Things looked shaky early for the Sea Eagles last weekend as they took on 2018 R23 Gold Coast 42-34 4 Pines Park 6,382 the Cowboys with the North Queenslanders opening a 12-0 lead after just ten 2019 R11 Gold Coast 36-18 4 Pines Park 7,465 minutes which sparked more concerns about Manly being a one-man team with 2019 R15 Manly 30-12 Cbus Super 11,056 Tom Trbojevic being rested and a poor performance from Manly. Things quickly 2020 R19 Gold Coast 42-24 4 Pines Park 2,452 improved for Manly as they went on to dominate the rest of the first half leading 2021 R6 Manly 36-0 Glen Willow Oval 6,380 28-12 before not letting their foot off the pedal as they ended up taking a 50-18 victory to dispel qualms about being a one-man team. BIGGEST WINS Coming off the 32-point victory, the Sea Eagles are set to be boosted with 2016 R15 Titans 30-10 Cbus Super Stadium 8,278 the return of Tom Trbojevic in his regular fullback role after being rested last 2021 R6 Manly 36-0 Glen Willow Oval 6,380 weekend, this means that Reuben Garrick returns to the centres with being pushed back to the reserves. Manly are also boosted with the return MILESTONES of Sean Keppie from suspension on the interchange bench. PLAYER MILESTONE NEEDS... AJ Brimson (GLD) 100 club & career points 4 points Who to watch: Having another injury riddled season, Ash Taylor has lacked Daly Cherry-Evans (MAN) 250 club & career games 1 game spark in attack and needs to find something if the Titans want to avoid another Dylan Walker (MAN) 150 career games 1 game mediocre season. Taylor’s attack has been rather pedestrian at times and especially against Manly, Taylor will need to look to create if the Titans want a 200 club points 8 points chance of winning.

Match stats courtesy of One of the strongest performers for Manly has been young front rower Taniela Paseka who starting to play a more dominant role in the Sea Eagles forward pack. The youngster has started in all bar one game for Manly this season and his go forward and developing strength is important for Manly. Paseka has a bright future and can again shine a light for the Sea Eagles go forward this weekend.

Favourite: The Manly Sea Eagles are dominant favourites for the contest with their good form and strong line-up. It’s important to note that Manly have won 7 NEXT THREE: GOLD COAST of their 11 games on the Gold Coast. R16 CANBERRA AWAY GIO STAD. R17 BYE My tip: Honestly, it’s hard to see Manly not racking up a score on the Gold Coast HOME R18 PARRAMATTA CBUS SUPER on Sunday. The Titans whilst unlucky against the Roosters, weren’t at the party for most of the contest and it was a capitulation from the Tricolours that got NEXT THREE: MANLY-WARRINGAH them back into the game. Manly were dominant in the sides clash earlier in the R16 CANTERBURY AWAY BANKWEST season in Mudgee and there is no reason for a repeat performance especially R17 CANBERRA HOME 4 PINES after hitting the half-century last weekend.Manly by 20.
