What a blockbuster match we have on our hands on Saturday night. There is a seemingly endless conveyer belt of sub-plots for this clash between the Sea Eagles and Bulldogs that by the time we got through them all it would be kick-off already.

This semi-final clash at Allianz Stadium pits the losing grand finalists of the 2013 season against the losing grand finalists of the 2012 season with the winners to advance into a 2014 grand final decider against the Panthers next week.

The Bulldogs succumbed meekly the following finals series after they made the big dance, going down without so much as a whimper against the Knights last year, and the same thing could potentially happen to Manly this finals series.

One year after going down to the Roosters in the 2013 decider, Manly face the prospect of being bundled out of the 2014 finals series without a win after their disastrous capitulation to the Rabbitohs last Friday night.

Manly have now lost three of their past four matches and are looking like a club searching for answers - both on and off the field. It seems the year-long rumours of inner turmoil engulfing the club has finally risen to the surface and in plain sight of the entire rugby league community, with several star players failing to produce their best form over the last couple of months.

Add to that a mounting injury and suspension toll and the Sea Eagles are looking like a team on the outer. But then again, that is exactly where the club traditionally fire. Who knows how they will react on Saturday night. It certainly wouldn't surprise anyone if they came out on fire and pummelled the Bulldogs like the way they were manhandled by the Rabbitohs. But their current form is saying that is a far cry from occurring.

The Bulldogs meanwhile shocked everyone last week with their superb performance against the Storm after they came into the finals series with just two wins from their past eight outings.

Canterbury produced almost the perfect first half to lead 24-0 at the break, and while they struggled somewhat to go on with it in the second stanza, the damage was already done and they were no doubt thinking about this week's clash with Manly.

Former Manly premiership winning coach Des Hasler has been in top form during the week, desperately vying to wrestle the underdog tag back from the Sea Eagles in a series of classic media conferences that illustrated the absolute genius of the man.

Hasler knows what it takes to win big games - both on the field and off - and he has prepared his Bulldogs side perfectly for this contest.

While their has been much criticism in the past of the Bulldogs inability to score points, that will not be the main focus in this encounter against the Sea Eagles.

With Manly's forward pack severely dented by the loss of their starting back-row (Watmough, Stewart, Buhrer), the Bulldogs have the capacity to roll right over the top the Sea Eagles' second-string back-row with their monstrous forward pack.

This in turn will create the required space halves Josh Reynolds and Trent Hodkinson need to systematically orchestrate a victory through a series of backline plays and kicks to the edges.

The last time these two teams met in a finals match was in the first week of the 2012 finals series where the Bulldogs overcame the Sea Eagles 16-10 on their way to the Grand Final.

Canterbury also edged out Manly in the last meeting between the two sides back in July this year, winning 23-16.

Team News

Anthony Watmough is out suspended for the Sea Eagles, with Tom Symonds shifting to the second-row and Dunamis Lui coming off the bench to start at lock.

Jayden Hodges seems likely to take the field at hooker after recovering from a neck injury, while James Hasson also makes his return from injury on the bench.

The Bulldogs have only made the one change from the side that defeated the Storm last week, with Reni Maitua coming onto the bench for the injured Pat O'Hanlon. Moses Mbye and Harlan Alaalatoa have also been named on an extended bench.
