Manly Sea Eagles vs Penrith Panthers Preview

The odds paint a pretty grim picture for the 0-3 Sea Eagles as they prepare for the toughest test in rugby league on Thursday night: the Penrith Panthers.

After battling his way through injuries to start the year, Manly head coach Des Hasler now needs to come up with a game plan to combat a defence that has allowed only 10 points in three games so far.

To be fair, the Panthers did it tough last week in the Grand Final rematch against the Storm, but the way they came from behind to snatch a win on a last-minute Kurt Capewell try tells you all you need to know about the belief in Penrith right now.

The Sea Eagles do have the added luxury of home-field advantage this week, but that really doesn’t count for much when you consider the Panthers won 42-12 during their visits to Brookvale last year.

On a more positive note, Tom Trbojevic could potentially return to the lineup next week, while the Manly defence does have a little less to worry about with Dylan Edwards out for a month with a hand injury, and Brent Naden serving the last game of his suspension.

Still, it’s hard to ignore the fact this is nothing more than a battle between first and last on the ladder.

With Nathan Cleary returning, the Panthers still have enough class and depth to keep on rolling.
