The Manly Sea Eagles are taking on the Sydney Roosters in their sudden-death NRL semi-final. Follow all the action live

As if they could afford to lose any more players, the Roosters will go into this game without first-choice hooker Sam Verrills after that controversial two-game ban as well as Siosiua Taukeiaho after a leg injury he sustained in the last-gasp win over the Titans last week.

Ben Marschke, who started the year as the club’s fifth-choice dummy-half, will get the call-up for Verrills, while Manly’s No.9 Lachlan Croker will also return from injury. But this big talking point for me is how does Trent Robinson use Sam Walker? He’s played a grand total of 23 minutes in the last three weeks starting from the bench, albeit kicking the winning field goal against the Gold Coast.

Does Robinson throw him into the game in the first half? If they’re chasing points? Or in the dying minutes again? So many questions, and only a three-time premiership-winning coach would know the answer.Teddy and Turbo, who is the No.1? Naturally, the talk has only been about the two fullbacks this week. The NSW teammates. Australian buddies. And perhaps the two best players in the game at the moment. They won’t solely be responsible for the result of this game, but you can bet your last dollar they will have a fairly significant say.penned this great piece earlier this week with Trbojevic deflecting to Tedesco as the No.1 fullback in the game.
