In terms of team changes we can confirm the Sea Eagles are 1-17, while the Warriors are reshuffled in the forwards. Bodene Thompson and Jacob Lillyman are OUT - with a raft of changes. Charlie Gubb and James Gavet will play in the front row with Bunty Afoa replacing Thompson in the second row. Ben Matulino drops to the bench while Jazz Tevaga takes the remaining place on the pine.

This match will be crucial for the Warriors to cement a top eight spot - a win puts them level - at least for now - with the Broncos. Meanwhile, the Sea Eagles are almost out of finals contention but will want to keep their faint chances alive with a win in Perth.

We're in the spectacular golden west for the first of two Super Saturday games! Welcome to our coverage of Manly-Warringah v the Warriors from nib Stadium in Perth.
