Manly Sea Eagles vs Parramatta Eels Preview
The Sea Eagles will be looking to return to the winner’s circle and the top-four this week when they take on the reeling Eels on the Sunshine Coast.
Manly got a taste of finals football last week in their 10-point loss to the Storm, but there was a lot to like about the way Des Hasler’s men handled their business in the first half.
As for the Eels, the same can’t be said.
Parramatta has slumped to three losses on the trot following a lacklustre effort against the Bunnies last week, and it’s not like they can point to injuries being the problem.
The fact the Eels conceded 40 points to South Sydney is a big red flag heading into another contest against one of the top scoring sides.
Manly put up 28 points on Parramatta in a blowout defeat earlier in May, and the loss of hooker Reed Mahoney only makes life tougher for the blue and gold.
To make matters worse, 12 of Manly’s last 14 games following a loss have all gone Over the Total, so there’s a bit to like about the double ahead of this top-eight blockbuster.
