Manly Sea Eagles v Sydney Roosters scores, results, time, program, entertainment, tips, odds, weather, how to watch

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the opening NRL clash of round four, with the winless Manly Sea Eagles taking on Daly Cherry-Evans and the Sydney Roosters. It’s Dom Brock on blog duties tonight.

There’s plenty happening in this one. It’s DCE’s first return to 4 Pines Park with his new team, after one good performance against Souths sandwiched between two games he’s rather forget at his new club. How will the Manly crowd treat him? How will he fare against his replacement Jamal Fogarty?

Of larger importance is the slow starts of both these clubs. Pressure is already mounting on Anthony Seibold at Manly after a couple of losses before last week’s bye, while questions have been asked about the future of club great Jake Trbojevic.

And things haven’t been going much better for the Roosters, who have already been walloped by the Warriors and Panthers and lead the league in errors and penalties conceded.

You get the feeling if they can get their discipline under control they should have too much talent in this contest, but strange things happen in the NRL. And the strangeness has already begun with a massive storm hitting the ground before kick-off. Stay with us for all the action as it happens.
