NRL round 17: Manly Sea Eagles v Wests Tigers live scores, updates, SuperCoach analysis
It's a huge night for SuperCoaches, with the biggest storylines coming from those wearing maroons and white.
With Manly's season falling off a cliff in recent weeks after consecutive upset defeats to the Knights and Titans, coach Anthony Seibold has rotated his backline to present a new-look Sea Eagles side to take on the Tigers.
Tom Trbojevic headlines these changes, with the injury-plagued former Dally M winner switching to the centres after an underwhelming run of form in the No.1.
Trbojevic can be bought for $485,900, a price that is nearly half of what he started with this season.
His 8.1% of owners will be hoping Turbo can conjure his Origin centres form which was destructive in the past, which could see him be a POD for this round.
Replacing Trbojevic in the fullback jersey is Lehi Hopoate, who is the ninth most transferred-in player this week.
Hopoate has been impressive in his fullback stints this season, averaging 64 from his five starts, but if you take away his two-pointer against the Knights he's averaging 79 from the other four fixtures.
The other Manly player impacted by the backline shake-up is CTW favourite Reuben Garrick, who shifts back out to the Manly wing in a move that has SuperCoaches licking their lips.
Garrick hasn't started a game on the wing for Manly since early 2023, but the new position could see his tryscoring numbers soar.
He's by far the most popular VC this week, with 33% of those teams in top 10% and 38% of the top 1% giving him the vice's armband.
Garrick's ownership is now up to 45%, with over 3,000 players bringing him in this week.
Outside of Manly players, the likes of Terrell May, Corey Horsburgh and Dylan Lucas are in action tonight on a big SuperCoach night.
