Semi Final # 2 – Roosters v Sea Eagles @ Allianz Stadium, Sydney
Channel 9 in Syd/Melb/Bris/Adel/Perth. Stream for free on 9Now.
With 23 premierships between them it’s a battle of the big birds when the Sydney Roosters meet the Manly Sea Eagles. After being outclassed by the Panthers last week, the Roosters revert back to their chook pen at Allianz Stadium where they’ll welcome back enforcer Victor Radley, as captain James Tedesco rallies his team to keep their season alive in his 250th NRL game.
Manly will come with winning momentum and two of the NRL’s biggest names – Daly Cherry-Evans and Tom Trbojevic, who have a few tricks up their sleeve in a bruising encounter. A spot in next week’s Preliminary Final against the Melbourne Storm.
NRLW ROUND 9
The fight for the sole remaining spot in the NRLW finals makes for an intriguing last round of the regular season. With the Roosters, Broncos and Sharks locked in for the semi finals, the NRLW premiers of the Knights hopes of making it three premiership wins in a row will rest on beating to Cowboys in a very hot Townsville on Saturday. The Cowboys have the incentive of denying their former coach of last year, Ben Jeffries, in his first year at the helm of the Knights, the chance of continuing the Knights reign.
If the Knights are unsuccessful in Townsville on Saturday, the Eels will knock them out of the finals if they can upset the ladder leading Roosters on Sunday afternoon.
