NRL finals Footrace: Sea Eagles Host Warriors,Roosters & Rabbitohs Battle for Postseason Berth
MANLY,NSW – Tonight’s NRL doubleheader features a farewell celebration for Sea Eagles captain Daly Cherry-Evans alongside a crucial clash between the Roosters and Rabbitohs,both with importent finals implications. Kick-off for Manly’s match against the warriors is scheduled for 6:00 PM AEST, followed by the Roosters-Rabbitohs contest at 8:00 PM AEST.
While a highly improbable scenario involving a massive victory for Manly and a similarly large defeat for the Roosters could see the Sea Eagles sneak into eighth place,the focus at Brookvale Oval is firmly on honoring Cherry-Evans’ 15-season tenure with the club. The veteran halfback will play his 351st NRL game, adding to his notable resume of 26 State of Origin appearances, 21 Test matches, and a premiership win. He is widely expected to join the Roosters for the next season. The Warriors, already guaranteed a finals spot, will aim to secure fifth or sixth position depending on the outcome of this match and other weekend results.
At Allianz Stadium, the stakes are equally high. The Roosters need a win against South Sydney to cement their place in the finals series. Conversely, the Rabbitohs are resolute to not only spoil their rivals’ postseason hopes but also provide winger Alex Johnston with the opportunity to surpass Ken Irvine’s all-time try-scoring record of 212 – Johnston currently needs three tries to break the record.
