Good evening ladies and gentleman and welcome to League Unlimited's coverage of Friday Night Football! First up we have this cracking clash between Souths and Manly at ANZ Stadium. This is a mouth watering clash and very important for both sides.
Souths are coming off a bye after a week earlier being hammered by the Wests Tigers, they will be eager to get back in the winners circle after a poor performance a fortnight ago.
Manly on the other hand will be looking for some consistency and momentum after last weeks win against the inconsistent Tigers. A win tonght could further that momentum and push them closer to the top 8.
