Neds Match Preview: Round 19
Wests Tigers will be eager to record their second win in as many weeks at Suncorp Stadium when they face Manly-Warringah on Saturday evening,
Looking to build on last week’s impressive second-half performance against Brisbane, Wests Tigers sit just one win outside the top eight and have an opportunity to make a run towards the finals with seven rounds remaining in the regular season.
Facing an in-from Sea Eagles outfit, Michael Maguire’s men have the chance to show their potential against one of the hot teams in the competition, and they will be seeking revenge against their opponents after the Sea Eagles recorded a comprehensive 40-6 victory on ANZAC Day earlier this season.
Wests Tigers, however, have won five of the past seven games against the Silvertails.
After a strong showing last week against the Broncos, Maguire has named a near-identical squad for this week's game — the only change coming late in the week with Alex Seyfarth included on the bench for Alex Twal (shoulder).
Families present Round 19 team list
Meanwhile, Des Hasler’s squad will be at near-full strength as they welcome back NSW Origin representatives Tom and Jake Trbojevic, as well as Queensland halfback Daly Cherry-Evans.
The Sea Eagles currently sit in fifth place with the injury-battered Roosters just two points ahead and the fourth-placed Eels a further two wins away.
FINAL TEAM LISTS
Sea Eagles: No late changes from the side originally named during the week with Tom and Jake Trbojevic, Daly Cherry-Evans and Josh Aloiai all set to return.
Wests Tigers: Just one change for Wests Tigers after last week's win with Alex Seyfarth coming on to the bench for Alex Twal (shoulder).
