Welcome to our coverage of the Friday night football clash between Cronulla and Manly. Dominic Brock with you tonight at the blog desk.A year ago, the Sharks were battling for a top-four spot while the Sea Eagles were outside the top eight, looking in, but all that has changed this season with the revitalised Manly side winning seven of their past eight games since Kieran Foran took the reigns as interim coach.Cronulla meanwhile have stalled a little, losing three of their past five, but they did secure a couple of big wins over the Tigers and Bulldogs in that time.Both teams are missing key players tonight, with the Sharks losing Nicho Hynes (calf) and KL Iro (knee laceration) to injuries while Briton Nikora is being rested after State of Origin I. Blues Addin Fonua-Blake and Blayke Brailey will back up from Wednesday night’s Origin opener. Manly are minus NSW Blues Tolu Koula (concussion) and Haumolo Olakau’atu (rested), and Tom Trbojevic is still a few weeks away from returning from his hamstring injury. Kick-off is at 8pm.
