Key Match-Up

Josh Jackson v Jake Trbojevic: Despite a challenging season, Jackson has stood tall and continued to lead his side from the front. A consistent performer in the back row, the Bulldog's captain has shown resilience and perseverance to keep his pack in the fight throughout the year.

Jake Trbojevic has been an influential figure in his side's success this year. His ball playing combination with youngster Josh Schuster has blossomed in recent weeks and provided a strong attacking platform for the Manly spine.
