Saturday 5th September, 08:35, NRL Round 17, Lottoland, Sydney, Manly Sea Eagles versus Wests Tigers NRL Match Fixture

Manly and Wests are in a terrible run of form at the moment, with just one win in six for both sides. Remarkably, both sides also went down 30-6 the last time out. With six points separating the Sea Eagles and the Tigers and the top eight, this match fixture is a must-win if they are going to keep their finals hopes alive. But, with just four games remaining, that possibility looks increasingly unlikely.
