The Sea Eagles’ finals hopes hang by a thread, with Manly needing to win this afternoon against the Tigers to keep in touch with the top eight.

Manly are now four points behind the 8th-placed Roosters and essentially need to win out to guarantee a spot.

The Tigers won’t be an easybeat though, with Benji Marshall’s men having come into some form over the past month.

Strike centre Starford To’a, who signed an extension with the Tigers this week, comes back into the side.

For Manly, Jake Trbojevic is out with a concussion but his brother Ben is back on deck and will start in the second row.
