THE Sea Eagles need an NRL finals miracle when they face premiers St George Illawarra at Kogarah next Sunday.

SEA EAGLES coach Des Hasler has sent an ominous warning to the NRL's high-flyers, declaring not only do Manly deserve to be in the finals but they can ruffle some feathers once they're there.

IT might be his final appearance at Brookvale Oval but Manly enforcer Josh Perry is refusing to contemplate the end of the road.

Independent commission or not, NRL chief executive David Gallop has no intention of relinquishing his position.

TODAY will be an emotional roller coaster for South Sydney players, with their season teetering on the precipice.

FOR all the possible top-eight permutations facing Manly at Brookvale Oval today, one thing is certain - win and the Sea Eagles can guarantee themselves a finals berth.
