Where things are difficult at the moment, the Roosters would be thinking they have finally turned the corner and are moving back towards their best. They are going to need it though, with one of the tougher runs home. Their 42-12 away win against Newcastle was all a bit too easy for the Roosters, but it allowed Luke Keary a comfortable return to the team. James Tedesco is in close to career best form, and that spells trouble for any opposition. The Roosters are close to full strength with Joey Manu returning from injury and moving Drew Hutchison to the bench.
Lindsay Collins returns from his Origin concussion, so Matt Lodge will start on the bench. PredictionIf the Sea Eagles were to get up here, it would be one of their more courageous wins. However, I feel that the Roosters are primed for a big finish to the season and will continue that charge tonight.

Manly Sea Eagles vs Sydney Roosters: NRL live scores, blogRound 20 of the NRL Premiership commences tonight when the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles host the Sydney Roosters at 4 Pines Park in Brookvale. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 7. 50pm AEST. This one should have been a big one. 9th vs 8th on the ladder with the semi-finals just around the corner, old Sydney rivals in front of a big Manly crowd. It should have been a big one but the chances of that happening are slim now. Leaving the reasons aside for the moment, the loss of 7 Sea Eagles players installs the Roosters at big favourites. It couldn’t have come at a worse time for Manly, following their 20-6 loss to the Dragons last Friday night. A loss here and they lose 2 points and for and against differential to the Roosters. Whilst mathematically possible, qualification for the semi finals would be unlikely.
