Wests Tigers v Manly Sea Eagles, finals hopes ladder, run home, teams, late mail, where to watch, rugby league news
The Wests Tigers have kept their miniscule finals hopes alive with a convincing 26-12 win over a sorry Sea Eagles outfit.
Meanwhile, Manly’s top eight chances took a massive hit. Both teams are now on 24 points and will need to win all three remaining games as well as hope for other results to go their way.
It is the Tigers’ fourth win from six games, and their second in a row following a win over the Dogs a fortnight ago.

MATCH CENTRE: Tigers v Sea Eagles, stats, score, live blog
Manly have now lost four straight games to bundle out of finals contention.
“They played like individuals without connecting together,” Cooper Cronk said on the Sea Eagles.
While the Tigers were far and away the better side, one Tigers try is set to come under plenty of scrutiny post-match.
Leading 18-6, the Tigers extended their lead to 18 when Taylan May scored a long-range try.
May more or less ran behind teammate Samuela Fainu after he broke the line, which gave cause for fullback Tom Trbojevic to hesitate towards Fainu instead of being able to just focus on May.
“It’s not you garden variety obstruction… I don’t know how you can give that,” Andrew Voss said in commentary.
“There is a player running in front of the man with the ball. It’s a diversion.
“That’s obstruction 101.”
Earlier, Manly star Reuben Garrick suffered a shoulder injury after landing on it heavily.
Tigers centre Starford To’a also left the game with a shoulder injury and didn’t return.
