Halves: Luke Keary and Daly Cherry-Evans v Tui Lolohea and Ata Hingano

Keary won't remember much about his Test debut after being concussed early against the Kiwis but as reigning Clive Churchill Medal winner there is no doubting his quality. DCE showed glimpses of his best in a largely forgettable season for Manly, including an excellent performance in helping the Maroons win a game three dead rubber.
Lolohea and Hingano each have no shortage of talent but both have struggled to command a starting spot in the NRL, with the former now headed to Leeds and the latter still serving as a backup at the Raiders. They combined for 15 NRL caps in 2018.

Verdict: looks to be the area with the biggest gulf between the two teams and a healthy advantage to Australia.
