Manly Warringah Sea Eagles will fine tune their preparations for the 2021 Telstra Premiership with an NRL trial against the Wests Tigers in February.
The NRL trial will be played at Leichhardt Oval on Sunday, February 28, from 5pm, in what will be the Sea Eagles only pre-season game before taking on the Sydney Roosters in the opening round of the Telstra Premiership on Saturday, March 13, at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The Sea Eagles were scheduled to play the Roosters in a NRL pre-season trial but with both teams now clashing in round one, the Tigers became the new trial opponents.
Ironically, the Tigers were scheduled to face Canberra Raiders in a trial but both teams will now play each other in round one.
Wests Tigers and Sea Eagles Members will get priority access to tickets for the NRL trial followed by the general public. Further details on when tickets go on sale will be communicated early in the new year.
