Roosters v Sea Eagles match preview

The marquee match of round 21 in the NRL takes place at Allianz Stadium on Saturday night as the Sydney Roosters host the Manly Sea Eagles.

The Roosters have been in red-hot form, winning four of their last five matches — including a victory against the dangerous Bulldogs. Sydney are fourth on the NRL ladder, looking to close the season out strong and secure a place in the top four.

The Sea Eagles are also in the hunt for a spot in the top four, as they’ve won four of their last five clashes as well. Given they have drawn a match this season and sit on an odd number of points, winning big games like this could easily separate Manly from other sides in the tussle for finals spots.

Roosters coach Trent Robinson has named an unchanged line-up following last week’s loss to the Storm in Melbourne.

Anthony Seibold has been forced to make one change to his Sea Eagles side after Lehi Hopoate (facial injury) was ruled out following last week’s win over the Titans. Ben Trbojevic steps into the centres, Tommy Talau moves out to the wing, and Corey Waddell lines up in the second row.

Roosters v Sea Eagles R21 predictions

The Roosters have won three of their last five clashes with the Sea Eagles, with the two losses coming at Manly’s home ground. Easts have been beating better sides than the Sea Eagles have in recent weeks, and they’ve also covered the betting line in eight of their last nine matches following a loss. There is solid value in the $1.91 quote at Bet365 for the Roosters to win by more than eight points.

Manly fullback Tom Trbojevic continued his incredible run of form last weekend against the Titans, scoring two tries from three tackle breaks and a line break. Despite struggling through injury, he has scored tries in six of his last seven NRL appearances and looks the most likely man to find the in-goal area for the Sea Eagles ($1.96).

Dominic Young has turned into the try-scoring sensation everyone expected he would be when the announcement came that he was departing the Knights for the Roosters. The English winger has a whopping 14 tries this season, having scored in nine of his last 10 matches. Young is a near-certainty to score a try here ($1.44).
