Manly were lucky to get away with the win last weekend against the Dogs with the stars aligning on two set plays getting them through the tiring Bulldogs defence. The Sea Eagles as the 7th ranked Scoring Defence this season allowed their opponent to put 22 points on them in an elimination final.
The Roosters as the top Pointscoring team in the league this year will be able to penetrate the Manly defence at a higher rate and are expected to put more points on the board pushing this game over the predicted total. Both teams are top 5 in Linebreaks so you can expect them to test the waters of the edge defences with some spread plays which could lead to scoring opportunities.
What will in the end decide this game is goal line defence and Sydney have proven this season that they can hold out teams for prolonged periods. Manly have not shown that ability with cracks appearing all too often.
- The Roosters have won the last 4 games in a row played at Allianz or SCG.
- Sydney rank 4th in Run Metres conceded and 5th in Points Conceded this season while topping the league in Points Scored at 29.9 per game.
- Manly allowed 4 tries on their oppositions 16 Tackles Inside 20m last weekend.
- Joey Manu lines up against the Manly defensive side which allows 44% of the teams tries.

The Roosters were totally outplayed by defending Premiers Penrith in their Qualifying Final loss last weekend. As has been the case for the majority of the season, Sydney could not stand up against a top ranked team. They allowed 4 tries to their opponent within the first 23 minutes before being able to steady the ship and lockdown on defence.
Sydney were unable to cross for any points themselves in the first half but did score two tries in 4 minutes shortly after the break. The game was never in doubt though for Penrith who looked calm and collected controlling all facets of the game throughout the 80 minutes.
The Roosters had only 46% Possession and 34% of the Territory in the game reaching only 28 Tackles Inside 20m whilst having to defend 46 Tackles Inside their own 20m. The tri-colours missed 42 Tackles in the game and were forced to take 4 dropouts with Nathan Cleary peppering the in-goal.

Manly dug themselves out of a hole against the Bulldogs in last weekend’s elimination final to win 24-22. Down 16-6 with 5 minutes remaining in the first half the game was starting to look out of reach for the Sea Eagles with the Bulldogs crushing defence limiting opportunities. They were able to cross 3 minutes out from the break to take momentum into the 2nd stanza.
A brilliant scrum play at the 56th minute brought Manly back to within a try and the Sea Eagles had all the momentum into the last quarter of the game. The final try came off the back of a slick mid-field play with all the important players touching the ball before Tolu Koula gave an immense individual effort to beat 3 Dogs defenders and cross for a try to seal the win.
Manly were kept to only 1271 Run Metres in the game and had only 20 Tackles Inside Opposition 20m. Their opponent had only 16 Tackles in their 20m but still managed 4 tries in the game in a slightly worrying sign. Both teams kicked for over 700 Metres in the game.
