We are underway at Allianz Stadium!
Welcome to Allianz Stadium for the first elimination final of 2017, with the Manly Sea Eagles taking on the Penrith Panthers with the winner going through to play Brisbane next week, while the loser will see their season come to an end.
Manly have made no changes and are 1-17.
Penrith have shuffled the decks with Waqa Blake out for the rest of the year. Fortunately for the Panthers, that injury has been offset with Dylan Edwards making his return at fullback with Dean Whare replacing Blake in the centres. Moses Leota joins the interchange replacing Tim Browne.
Manly go into this match as favourites, after they thrashed Penrith in the last regulation round of the season last week. As we know though, a week is a very long time in Rugby League, so Penrith will be looking to bounce back.
Kick off not far away, so stay tuned for all the action @League Unlimited!
