GLEN WILLOW OVAL,MUDGEE,NSW
Sea Eagles team:
1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Christian Tuipulotu 3. Brad Parker 4. Morgan Harper 5. Reuben Garrick 6. Josh Schuster 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Taniela Paseka 9. Lachlan Croker 10. Jake Trbojevic 11. Haumole Olakau’atu 12. Kelma Tuilagi 13. Josh Aloiai 14. Kaeo Weekes 15. Ben Trbojevic 16. Ethan Bullemor 17. Sean Keppie 18. Toafofoa Sipley 19. Cooper Johns 20. Ray Tuaimalo-Vaega 21. Karl Lawton 22. Samuela Fainu
Lachlan Croker returns from injury, pushing Karl Lawton back to the reserves. In another big change, Tolu Koula is out with a knee injury, which is expected to sideline him for six weeks. Morgan Harper comes in for him at centre. The gossip I have is that Josh Schuster is out with a calf strain, and Cooper Johns steps up to the plate. Manly have won 13 of the last 15 against Newcastle.
Knights team:
1. Lachlan Miller 2. Hymel Hunt 3. Dane Gagai 4. Bradman Best 5. Greg Marzhew 6. Tyson Gamble 7. Jackson Hastings 8. Daniel Saifiti 9. Jayden Brailey 10. Leo Thompson 11. Tyson Frizell 12. Lachlan Fitzgibbon 13. Jack Johns 14. Phoenix Crossland 15. Jack Hetherington 16. Mathew Croker 17. Brodie Jones 18. Dylan Lucas 19. Enari Tuala 20. Dominic Young 21. Simi Sasagi 22. Thomas Cant
Kurt Mann is out due to a concussion with Jack Johns replacing him at lock after a big performance in NSW Cup last week. Greg Marzhew retains his spot on the wing with Dom Young set to continue his stint in reserve grade.
PREDICTION.
Both teams have won two games and Manly were so unlucky losing to the Rabbitohs in round 4,while the Knights showed some guts last week against Canberra led by their fullback Lachie Millar. This kid looks the goods to me, and the Knights showed enough last week to indicate they will not be a push over in this game.
