NRL Finals live: South Sydney vs Manly at ANZ Stadium

South Sydney are red-hot favourites to continue Manly's ANZ Stadium hoodoo when they face off for a spot in the NRL final four on Friday night.

The Rabbitohs’ impressive first season under new coach Wayne Bennett is at risk of counting for nothing, however, if the Sea Eagles can spring an almighty upset – just as they did when they last met in a finals series at Sydney Olympic Park in 2013.

The September 27, 2013, ambush – 2184 days ago – was also the last time the Sea Eagles have tasted victory at the Olympic Stadium – turning the venue into a graveyard for the Sea Eagles ever since.

Manly has now lost nine straight games at ANZ Stadium and needs a textbook Des Hasler, backs-to-the-wall, performance to outmuscle the Bunnies, who are still stinging from their qualifying final loss to the Roosters in the opening week of the finals.

A mostly cloudy evening with a low of 16C and easing strong winds is forecast for when the battle kicks off at 7.50pm (AEST).

Rabbitohs lose patience with Sam

Sam Burgess is reportedly on the nose with South Sydney officials over his extraordinary claims against the NRL and the judiciary process.

Burgess vented his frustrations after missing last week’s NRL final against the Sydney Roosters because of a hair pull, likening the judiciary to a “kangaroo court”.

Burgess has been summoned to NRL headquarters for a “please explain” from CEO Todd Greenberg and threatened with a fine for his comments.

While Bunnies coach Wayne Bennett spoke out in support of Burgess, a report has since emerged that other senior staff at the Rabbitohs are losing patience with their line-stepping star.

Fairfax journalist Andrew Webster told Sky Sports Radio on Friday it was telling that Bennett was the only Bunnies figure to support Bennett's judiciary roast.

"I know internally there were plenty of people at Souths (who didn't support Bennett), you'll notice Bennett was the only one who came out and supported him.

"There were people at South Sydney, who weren't surprised the NRL came down hard.

"At some stage Sam has to look at his actions on the field, as he admitted earlier this year and as Bennett has said privately and publicly. Sam can take control of it, but he keeps saying, 'I'm not going to change' Well, he might have to."

But Bennett said more players should speak their mind like the Englishman. “He’s got something to say, he wants to be honest about it, he was,” Bennett said ahead of Friday’s semi-final against Manly.

“What do we want, do we want them all cliched and scripted?

“Because that’s what we’re getting at the moment, 80 per cent of the people that are interviewed are going down the party line.

“Sam’s always been different and that won’t change for him.” Greenberg on Wednesday said on face value Burgess’ comments breached the game’s code of conduct and were “offensive” to NRL judiciary chairman and Supreme Court Judge Geoff Bellew.

MATCH PREVIEW | North Queensland Cowboys vs Brisbane Broncos

TEAM FORM GUIDE

Cowboys

The Cowboys have fallen away since their huge upset win against the Roosters, losing to Souths, the Sharks and monstered by the Tigers in Sydney. The Tigers’ loss was especially disappointing as the Cowboys struggled to complete and get into the game. The Cowboys are still mathematically in the hunt for the eight, but need this win to keep their slight hopes alive.

Broncos

The Broncos weren’t in the fight last week, dominated by Melbourne at home. The 36-point loss came at a poor time as the Broncos are looking to sneak their way into the eight.

SQUAD NEWS

Cowboys

Surprisingly only one change to the Cowboys as Murray Taulagi moves out for returning speedster Gideon Gela-Mosby. Coen Hess remains out of position at centre with Enari Tuala sitting on the sidelines again this week. 

North Queensland squad: 1. Scott Drinkwater 2. Kyle Feldt 3. Coen Hess 4. Tom Opacic 5. Gideon Gela-Mosby 6. Michael Morgan 7. Jake Clifford 8. Josh McGuire 9. Jake Granville 10. Jordan McLean 11. Gavin Cooper 12. Shane Wright 13. Jason Taumalolo 14. John Asiata 15. Matt Scott 16. Scott Bolton 17. Francis Molo 18. Peter Hola 19. Reuben Cotter 20. Corey Jensen 21. Murray Taulagi.

Broncos

Alex Glenn is the only omission this week for Brisbane, as the man with the best name in the NRL (Gehamat Shibasaki) replaces him in the centres. Jamayne Isaako and Corey Oates switch between left and right winger.

Brisbane squad: 1. Anthony Milford 5. Jamayne Isaako 18. Gehamat Shibasaki 3. Kotoni Staggs 2. Corey Oates 6. Darius Boyd 7. Jake Turpin 8. Matthew Lodge 9. Andrew McCullough 10. Payne Haas 11. David Fifita 12. Tevita Pangai Jr 13. Joe Ofahengaue 14. James Segeyaro 15. Thomas Flegler 16. Rhys Kennedy 17. Patty Carrigan 19. Herbie Farnworth 21. Shaun Fensom

HEAD TO HEAD

We all know about some of the famous battles these two sides have had in the past. We remember Milford’s 40 metre drop goal, Jonathan Thurston’s flick pass to Morgan in extra time and, of course, a grand final try on the siren and a kick into immortality for Thurston. There is no doubt the Queenslanders step up when they play each other and they will again this weekend.

While the Broncos have won 30 of their 47 clashes, they certainly aren’t the bigger brother anymore. Recently, it has been split down the middle, with each winning five of their last ten against the other. Eight of these games have been decided by less than six points. There is a finals spot on the line so get out your XXXX Golds, sit back and enjoy the Derby.

KEY BATTLE

If you are a fan of rugby league you will be a fan of the battle of the big men, Jason Taumalolo and Tevita Pangai Jnr. Last time these sides faced, Pangai Jnr left the field as the next million dollar man. He was on a mission to disrupt the game’s best lock and it worked, sizing up to JT and eventually causing him to leave the field. Since then Pangai has continued to lead the Broncos’ pack but can fall out of games. The Tongan international will be looking to one up his Tongan teammate and make a big difference on Thursday night.

Now to the new JT, it’s been just another year for the 26-year-old star as he averages a staggering 207 metres a game, totalled at just under 3000 metres. The big man is the NRL’s hardest player to tackle but will be looking to inspire his team to a much-needed win. Although there may be another match he will be desperate to win, the physical one against Pangai Jnr. There will be a target on him after their round two clash and it will make for some jaw-dropping viewing.

WHO WILL WIN?

No matter the result I predict big hits, drama, slick plays and a Kyle Feldt try. The Cowboys will rally after a tough loss and edge the Broncos by a point.

Cowboys by one.

MATCH PREVIEW | Cronulla Sharks vs South Sydney Rabbitohs

TEAM FORM GUIDE

Cronulla Sharks

Had the Sharks not secured a last-minute victory against the North Queensland Cowboys in round 19, they would have been staring down the barrel of six straight losses. Given that a spot in the top eight is still achievable, the Sharks will be looking to win this week to press their claim.

South Sydney Rabbitohs

An incredible win against the St. George IlIawarra Dragons elevated the Rabbitohs to second place on the NRL ladder. As they look to the finals, no doubt the first placed Melbourne Storm are in their sights.

SQUAD NEWS

Cronulla Sharks

The return of Matt Moylan (hamstring), Wade Graham (hamstring) and Andrew Fifita (suspension) is timely for the Sharks. Resultantly, Josh Dugan shifts to the wing while Luke Capewell reverts to the interchange bench. Blayke Brailey and Billy Magoulias have been dropped to the reserves.

Cronulla Sharks squad:

1 Matt Moylan, 2 Sosaia Feki, 3 Broncos Xerri, 4 Josh Dugan, 5 Josh Morris, 6 Shaun Johnson, 7 Chad Townsend, 8 Aaron Woods, 9 Jayden Brailey, 10 Matt Prior, 11 Briton Nikora, 12 Wade Graham, 13 Paul Gallen. Interchange: 14 Kurt Capewell, 15 Jack Williams, 16 Andrew Fifita, 17 Braden Hamlin-Uele. Reserves: 18 Billy Magoulias, 19 Blayke Brailey, 20 Ronaldo Mulitalo, 21 Kyle Flanagan.

South Sydney Rabbitohs

The inclusion of Sam Burgess (shoulder infection) pushes Ethan Lowe to the interchange bench. Liam Knight has been named to return from suspension.

South Sydney Rabbitohs squad:

1 Adam Doueihi, 2 Dane Gagai, 3 James Roberts, 4 Braidon Burns, 5 Campbell Graham, 6 Cody Walker, 7 Adam Reynolds, 8 Tevita Tatola, 9 Damien Cook, 10 Thomas Burgess, 11 John Sutton, 12 Sam Burgess, 13 Cameron Murray. Interchange: 14 Liam Knight, 15 Mark Nicholls, 16 Ethan Lowe, 17 Kyle Turner. Reserves: 18 Connor Tracey, 19 Corey Allan, 20 Jaydn Su’A, 21 Dean Britt.

HEAD TO HEAD

The Sharks will give themselves the best chance to secure victory if they execute for the duration of the match. Strong defensive pressure is imperative if they are to restrict the go-forward of the Rabbitohs. Given the power and unpredictability within the Sharks’ team, an upset is possible if they can dominate the Rabbitohs’ forward pack and limit their opportunity for offloads.

For the Rabbitohs, execution is vital; whether it be capitalising on open space or converting goals. Getting the ball to their monster forward pack early in the match will set the tone and give the Rabbitohs the best opportunity to mount pressure and take advantage of the Sharks’ vulnerable edge defence.

WHO WILL WIN?

Whilst the Sharks will be eager to keep their finals aspirations in tact, expect the Rabbitohs to pounce and reign victorious on this occasion.

2019 NRL – Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs vs Penrith Panthers Preview & Prediction

THE TEAM NEWS

CANTERBURY-BANKSTOWN BULLDOGS

Head Coach: Dean Pay

Starting 13: Watene-Zelezniak, Meaney, Holland, Hopoate, R. Smith, Cogger, Lewis, Tolman, Lichaa, Napa, Jackson, Harawira-Naera, Elliott – Interchanges: Marshall-King, Toomaga, Fualalo, C. Smith – Reserves: Faitala-Mariner, Wakeham, Okunbor, Ogden

Unavailable: Kieran Foran, Sauaso Sue, Marcelo Montoya

Canterbury put in a decent display as they pushed Sydney Roosters all the way in their contest last week but ultimately fell short but if they can replicate that level of performance, they should pick up some wins soon.

Kieran Foran was expected to be back for the Bulldogs after failing to prove his fitness ahead of last week's game with the Roosters but he is nowhere to be seen in the squad this week and looks set to miss out again.

Head coach Dean Pay has named the same 17 that took to the field last week and following their solid display against the reigning premiers, it would be a surprise if any late changes were made to the side other than if it was fitness-related.

PENRITH PANTHERS

Head Coach: Ivan Cleary

Starting 13: Edwards, Mansour, Whare, Naden, To’o, Maloney, Cleary, Tamou, Kenny, Fisher-Harris, Martin, Winterstein, Yeo – Interchanges: Egan, Luai, Leota, Campbell-Gillard – Reserves: Leniu, Cartwright, Crichton, Sele

Unavailable: Tyrone May, Viliame Kikau

Penrith's brilliant winning run of seven matches was brought to an end as they came up against a superb Canberra side last week with the Panthers looking to get back on track immediately as they head to Canterbury.

The Panthers suffered no injuries or disciplinary issues last week and have named an unchanged 17 here despite their defeat to the Raiders but head coach Ivan Cleary has made one slight change.

Liam Martin played at lock last week but he will swap positions with Isaah Yeo in the back row although that could alter again before kick-off or in fact during the contest with the Bulldogs.

THE PREDICTION

Penrith will need to dust themselves down and attempt to get back to winning ways after their seven-game winning streak was ended last week. They head to the Bankwest Stadium to face Canterbury and although the Bulldogs are not fancied to claim the win, they could claim a shock result. The return of Lachlan Lewis boosted Canterbury last week and with another week under his belt alongside Jack Cogger, the Bulldogs could do enough to earn the win.

MATCH PREVIEW | Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles vs Newcastle Knights

TEAM FORM GUIDE

Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles

Manly couldn’t have asked for a better result backing up their performance against Parramatta to then beat the premiership favourites Storm in Melbourne. It was a high octane and thrilling match. With missed field goals and scoring opportunities in Golden Point, it was Manly who slotted the one point shot to escape with the 11-10 win with just twenty seconds left.

Newcastle Knights

Newcastle fell to a Tigers side motivated by veteran hooker Robbie Farah’s 300th NRL game. The fixture was back-and-forth but Wests did look the better side throughout the match, with the Knights fading in-and-out of periods to lose 28-26 – their fourth straight loss saw them fall out of the top eight with just six weeks left.

SQUAD NEWS

Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles

Des Hasler has kept the same squad that won against Melbourne last round. There could be late changes via the bench but it’s unlikely.

 Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles’ Squad: 1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Jorge Taufua 3. Brad Parker 4. Moses Suli 5. Reuben Garrick 6. Dylan Walker 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Addin Fonua-Blake 9. Manase Fainu 10. Martin Taupau 11. Joel Thompson 12. Curtis Sironen 13. Jake Trbojevic 14. Lachlan Croker 15. Corey Waddell 16. Morgan Boyle 17. Taniela Paseka 18. Jack Gosiewski 19. Apisai Koroisau 20. Brendan Elliot 21. Lloyd Perrett.

Newcastle Knights

Nathan Brown has made mass changes to his side with Jesse Ramien, Herman Ese’ese, Danny Levi and Jamie Buhrer all dropped. The return of Mason Lino at five-eighth, Lachlan Fitzgibbon in the backrow and Connor Watson at hooker sees Hymel Hunt move from wing to centre and Kurt Mann to the wing while Sione Mata’utia moves to the bench. Jacob Saifiti and Aidan Guerra come onto the interchange.

Newcastle Knights’ Squad: 1. Kalyn Ponga 2. Shaun Kenny-Dowall 3. Hymel Hunt 4. Tautau Moga 5. Kurt Mann 6. Mason Lino 7. Mitchell Pearce 8. David Klemmer 9. Connor Watson 10. Daniel Saifiti 11. Lachlan Fitzgibbon 12. Mitchell Barnett 13. Tim Glasby 14. Jacob Saifiti 15. James Gavet 16. Sione Mata’utia 17. Aidan Guerra 18. Jamie Buhrer 19. Beau Fermor 20. Jirah Momoisea 21. Chris Randall.

HEAD TO HEAD

Manly and Newcastle have a close head-to-head record in their past four meetings over the past three seasons. These fixtures tend to go down to the wire with either side able to come back from a deficit to win, the last four victories have been decided by eight points or less. That will no doubt continue this week with a must win game for the Knights.They met back in round five this year, with Manly putting on an impressive 18-6 half time scoreline at McDonald Jones Stadium. A sin bin and more momentum saw Newcastle claw their way back, but it was too much for the home side to reach, Manly winning 26-18.

These outfits tend to use their forwards to bash their opposition early to gain ascendancy for the rest of the game and score high totals. It will be won and lost through the middle of the park, with the outside backs of the respective sides having huge workloads ahead of them to help out their forwards.

KEY BATTLE

A key battle in this fixture will be through the rakes of both sides; with the return of Connor Watson at hooker for Knights and Manase Fainu a regular now for Manly, these two livewire players could be the difference come full time.Watson has been one of the standouts for Newcastle this season; as a utility player who is constantly shifting position, the nine jersey is where he needs to be and has been brought in this week to return there for immediate impact. The Knights hooker will be involved in crucial plays with his great decision making out of marker, which allows a roll on for his side with the effort plays in defence. Watson will need to come back into the form he showed at nine to nullify his opposing number Fainu who could try to get the best of him early and have his possession limited.

Fainu is one of the bright youngsters charging onto the NRL scene in the past 12 months (in the hooking role especially); his damaging runs that see him bust or sneak through defences has proven near impossible to contain. Starting as a interchange player he has now moulded into a 65-to-70 minute rake who can produce offloads, two-man passes to find playmakers or make a large amount of tackles, taking pressure off others. If Fainu is to have the same impact that has been seen over the past month, he needs to assist others before his own attack can flourish, but also identify the moments in games where he is needed more so than ever.

WHO WILL WIN?

The last time these two sides met was back in round five with Manly running away early leaders. The Knights were full strength at home while still unable to put together an 80-minute performance. Flash forward to this round and it’s a similar scenario: Newcastle are struggling to be consistent, hold a lead or produce the footy the NRL knows they can. However, the script is different for the Sea Eagles with more form built over time and combinations now solid after beating Melbourne.

The outcome looks to be pretty straightforward: a close encounter for the opening stages before the Sea Eagles dominate the Knights with their best player in Tom Trbojevic firing on all cylinders in front of a packed Brookvale Oval on Saturday afternoon. Manly will be more consistent and run away with a comfortable victory despite the history of close encounters.

Prediction: Sea Eagles by 12.

MATCH PREVIEW | New Zealand Warrior vs Canberra Raiders

TEAM FORM GUIDE

New Zealand Warriors

They had an exciting clash against the Eels in round 19 that unfortunately is only being remembered for the officiating. The Warriors have shown heart for the past six weeks and will need it in spades this week if they are to get their first win at Mount Smart since April.

Canberra Raiders

The Raiders have been one of the success stories in 2019, and their odds as premiership contenders increased after they ended the Panthers winning streak with an emphatic 30-18 victory. Their defence has been outstanding all season and will be vital if they are to contain the Warriors electric backline.

SQUAD NEWS

New Zealand Warriors

Kodi Nikorima returns to five-eighth with Chanel Harris-Tavita moving back to the bench. Issac Luke has been named at hooker pending his meeting with the judiciary tonight if his two-week suspension stands Karl Lawton will move into starting line up. Lawtons return sees Adam Keighran move into the reserves.

New Zealand Warriors squad: 1. Roger Tuivasa-Sheck, 2. Gerard Beale, 3. Peta Hiku, 4. Blake Ayshford, 5. Ken Maumalo, 6. Kodi Nikorima, 7. Blake Green, 8. Agnatius Paasi, 9. Issac Luke, 10. Leeson Ah Mau, 11. Adam Blair, 12. Isaiah Papali’i, 13. Jazz Tevaga, 14. Lachlan Burr, 15. Sam Lisone, 16. Bunty Afoa, 17. Chanel Harris-Tavita, 18. Karl Lawton, 20. Josh Curran, 21. Adam Pompey, 21. Adam Keighran

Canberra Raiders

The Raiders have named the same line up that defeated the Panthers ins round 19.

Canberra Raiders squad: 1. Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad, 2. Bailey Simonsson, 3. Jarrod Croker, 4. Michael Oldfield, 5. Jordan Rapana, 6. Jack Wighton, 7. Aidan Sezer, 8. Josh Papalii, 9. Josh Hodgson, 10. Iosia Soliola, 11. John Bateman, 12. Elliott Whitehead, 13. Joseph Tapine, 14. Siliva Havili, 15. Emre Guler, 16. Corey Horsburgh, 17. Dunamis Lui, 18. Sam Williams, 19. Hudson Young, 20. Sebastian Kris, 21. Royce Hunt

HEAD TO HEAD

Played: 36, Warriors 18, Raiders 18

Latest Result: Warrior 20-16, Round 25 2018

KEY BATTLE

My key battle is between Warriors captain Roger Tuivasa-Sheck and his former apprentice Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad. Both players have been standouts for their respective clubs and fans will be anticipating an epic clash between the former teammates.

Tuivasa-Sheck leads the NRL in running metres with 3307m and is the spark that ignites this Warriors side. Expect to see the Warriors captain feature heavily as the Warriors attempt to break the Raiders line.

Nicoll-Klokstad has hit the ground running since his move to the Australian capital, currently sitting third in running metres with 3015. In his first match against his former club playing in front of friends and family, he will be looking at making a statement much to Raider’s fans delight.

WHO WILL WIN?

For the Warriors to win they will need to improve their discipline and dominate territory, if they tire the Raiders out by forcing them to run out of their own half repeatably then holes will start to open up in the Raiders defensive line and allow the Warriors points to start flowing.

For the Raiders to win, they need to keep the Warriors back three out of the match as much as possible by kicking to the corners. Josh Hodgson will need to be active in the ruck area as the Warriors still struggle to defend in the middle of the park, a quick snipe out of dummy half with an inside ball to Nicoll-Klokstad could open the game wide open.

The Warriors will be hurting after their round 19 defeat and will be desperate to keep their season alive in front of what will be a vocal home crowd. If the past six weeks are anything to go by this match will be tight, but I’m siding with the home side here.

MATCH PREVIEW | Wests Tigers vs North Queensland Cowboys

TEAM FORM GUIDE

Wests Tigers

The Tigers celebrated Robbie Farah’s 300th game with a vital 28-26 win in Newcastle. With five tries each (and a double to fullback Corey Thompson), Moses Mbye’s four goals from five was enough for the Tigers to scrape home. While they have more losses than wins (8-10), they’re equal ninth with Newcastle and Cronulla. It’s testament to the competition’s tightness. The Tigers celebrate a long-awaited return to Leichhardt Oval. They haven’t played there since round one (a 20-6 win over Manly-Warringah).

North Queensland

The Cowboys had another late fade out, this time against Cronulla-Sutherland at Shark Park (PointsBet Stadium). Tries to Scott Drinkwater, Matthew Scott and Francis Molo had the Cowboys 14-4 up early in the second half, but converted tries to Josh Dugan and Bronson Xerri snuck Cronulla home 16-14 in a Thursday night thriller. While the win delighted Prime Minister Scott Morrison (a regular at Sharks home games), it left the 7-11 Cowboys three points adrift of the eight and needing an almost faultless run home to make the finals.

SQUAD NEWS

Wests Tigers

No changes for the Tigers. Michael Chee Kam is named to play despite last week’s concussion.

Wests Tigers’ squad: 1. Corey Thompson 2. Paul Momirovski 3. Moses Mbye 4. Esan Marsters 5. David Nofoaluma 6. Benji Marshall 7. Luke Brooks 8. Josh Aloiai 9. Robbie Farah 10. Oliver Clark 11. Luke Garner 12. Michael Chee-Kam 13. Ryan Matterson 14. Matthew Eisenhuth 15. Thomas Mikaele 16. Alex Twal 17. Chris Lawrence 18. Jacob Liddle 19. Tommy Talau 20. Chris McQueen 21. Josh Reynolds.

North Queensland

Michael Morgan returns after three weeks out with concussion. John Asiata  moves to the bench, with Corey Jensen dropping to the reserves.

North Queensland squad: 1. Scott Drinkwater 2. Kyle Feldt 3. Coen Hess 4. Tom Opacic 5. Murray Taulagi 6. Michael Morgan 7. Jake Clifford 8.Josh McGuire 9. Jake Granville 10. Jordan McLean 11. Gavin Cooper 12. Shane Wright 13. Jason Taumalolo 14. John Asiata 15. Matt Scott 16. Scott Bolton 17. Francis Molo 18. Corey Jensen 19. Tom Gilbert 20. Gideon Gela-Mosby 21. Reuben Cotter.

HEAD TO HEAD

The Tigers won a thriller in round 14 at Townsville, beating the Cowboys 27-26. Wests led 20-6 at halftime, but the Cowboys drew level at 26-26 to send it to Golden Point. A clutch field goal from Benji Marshall got the Tigers home in the 84th minute. Michael Chee Kam scored a double for the Tigers, with five goals to Esan Marsters.Their last head-to-head at Leichhardt was last season, with the Tigers winning 20-12, scoring four tries to two.

KEY BATTLE

Robbie Farah v Jake Granville

With Farah announcing his retirement, the finals six games (and maybe at least one finals appearance) give Tigers fans a chance to farewell their favourite rake. After his two-year stint at Souths, it’s fitting that Farah ends his career with the Balmain-Western Suburbs joint venture after the ugly departure in 2016. A penultimate game at Leichhardt (with the final game in round 25 against Cronulla-Sutherland) will be plenty of motivation for Farah.Granville has played every game for the Cowboys this year, helping his club stay in the finals race. If the Cowboys are to continue keeping their slim hopes alive, Granville will need to fire.

WHO WILL WIN?

A return to Leichhardt Oval is a bonus for the Tigers. North Queensland will be desperate to keep their tenuous finals hopes alive, though momentum gained from their win in Newcastle should see the Tigers home in a close one. Could it go to Golden Point again?

Wests Tigers by two.
