Manly Sea Eagles vs Gold Coast Titans Preview

At this stage last season Manly only had an ugly win over the Warriors to its credit, so a 3-2 record courtesy of three increasingly encouraging wins is a solid result after opening their campaign with losses to a pair of heavyweights.

The Sea Eagles produced a professional performance in the Newcastle wet without Tom Trbojevic in Round 5, taking their chances with a superb short kicking game to beat the Knights 30-6 and concede just one try for the second straight game. Daly Cherry-Evans and Haumole Olakau’atau were excellent.

COVID absentee Morgan Harper is replaced by rookie Tolutau Koula, while Reuben Garrick stays at fullback.

Gold Coast is one of the more difficult teams to get a read on after a 2-3 start. The Titans were on course for a landslide loss when they trailed the Eels 20-0 soon after halftime but rallied to force a grandstand finish in a 26-20 defeat to one of the competition’s better teams.

The Titans’ spine remains a work in progress, while getting consistent value out of David Fifita is still a conundrum for Justin Holbrook – though he was arguably their most dangerous player last week.

Manly put the hurt on Gold Coast twice in 2021, winning 36-0 in Mudgee in Round 6 and 56-24 at Robina in Round 15. Tom Trbojevic (4), Jason Saab (4) and Garrick (6) scored 14 tries between them across the two blowouts.

The Sea Eagles haven’t exactly made Brookvale a fortress in recent times – they are just 4-8 at home since the start of 2020, with only a 13-12 win over the Bulldogs there this season – but the Titans have won only three of their last nine outside Queensland.

Manly is on a nice roll and look likely to put a few points on the patchy visitors.
