Live: Sea Eagles v Rabbitohs 10:04pm: Well-earned man of the match has gone to Souths five-eighth John Sutton. You can't come here and switch off at any time and I thougt it was a really good 80 minutes from the boys. The boys out in the middle were giving it to each other and it was good. Our boys really dug deep tonight.

Well, Manly will get a great chance to show their premiership worth when they play a South Sydney side equal on competition points. There are plenty of key match ups with representative fullbacks Brett Stewart and Greg Inglis going head to head while the battle of the halves will almost certainly decide the result. Which ever halves pairing dominations between Kieran Foran and Daly Cherry-Evans up against South Sydney's Adam Reynolds and John Sutton will almost certainly decide the result. Michael's tip: Souths by 8 AAP writes: Second versus third - a true blockbuster. The Rabbitohs have struggled against the NRL's benchmark teams, and they won't get a better chance to prove the doubters wrong than at a jam-packed Fortress Brookvale. They'd want to hope Greg Inglis' injured hip isn't too bad because they need all the point-scoring ammunition available against a Manly side which has twice held their opponent scoreless in 2013. The possible return of Glenn Stewart to the Manly pack for the first time this season would only add to the worries for the Rabbitohs who have only three wins from their past 17 trips to Brookvale. Key: Daly Cherry Evans. The Manly No.7 has been brilliant, and it's only the irrepressible form of Cooper Cronk that is denying him a Queensland and Test jumper.
