AAP writes: A win here and the ninth-placed Dragons can launch their charge to the top eight, a loss and they will slip to the end of the finals logjam. Plenty of Dragons players could be playing for their futures over the next two months with Wayne Bennett’s return a big possibility. Manly just keep on keeping on and look certain to snare a top four spot. But of course a loss here would affect that. Anthony Watmough returns from suspension to the Sea Eagles back-row for the suspended Justin Horo. Josh Dugan is back in the centres for the Dragons. Manly halves Kieran Foran and Daly Cherry-Evans are in sublime form.

Key: Kogarah Oval. Manly have only won once in six attempts at the joint venture’s spiritual home.
