Penrith Panthers vs Manly Sea Eagles Preview
The season is underway with a bang when the reigning premiers kick off their title defence at home against Semi-Final contestants the Manly Sea Eagles.
It was a long 20-year wait for their fans but finally, the Ivan Cleary era hit a peak when the Panthers toughed out a 14-12 win over South Sydney at Suncorp Stadium. They’ve lost the likes of Kurt Capewell and Matt Burton for the season ahead, while several more will follow at the conclusion of this season.
The Sea Eagles enjoyed their best season for some time in 2021, fighting their way to the final four before being eliminated by Souths. Their campaign was highlighted by several record-breaking solo performances, but particularly that of Dally M winner Tom Trbojevic. His fitness will be the key to their season, but if he does remain at full health, I think that they can make a Grand Final.
Star halfback Nathan Cleary has been ruled out for the first four weeks of the season and I think that will result in a Manly win on Thursday night.
