Manly Warringah Sea Eagles will tackle the Western Suburbs Magpies at Leichhardt Oval on Saturday, April 24, in the NSWRL Harold Matthews Elimination Semi-Final.
The Sea Eagles go into the Grand Final qualifier fresh from having last weekend off after finishing the regular season as undefeated minor premiers under Coach Adam McEwan.
The Magpies finished the season in fourth place before recording an 18-16 win over the Central Coast Roosters last Saturday.
The last time the two teams clashed was in round four with the Sea Eagles beating the Magpies 20-14 at Lottoland in late February.
The winner of the Sea Eagles-Magpies match will play the winner of the Parramatta Eels (2nd) v Penrith Panthers (3rd) finals match. The top four teams from the regular season are in the elimination finals.
