Penrith Panthers vs Manly Sea Eagles Preview

The Penrith Panthers took care of the Knights 24-6 to win their 20th straight regular-season game last week. The Manly Warringah-Sea Eagles also picked up another big win in thrashing the Tigers 40-6 at Bankwest Stadium.

Api Koroisau returns to the starting side this week, further improving an already dominant Panthers outfit. Des Hasler has the luxury of naming the same 17 for Saturday. So long as he can keep putting Tom Trbojevic’s name at #1, his team is a chance.

The Manly fullback only needed five minutes around the 30th minute to dismantle the Tigers and stamp his authority on the game. It’s worrying how much he impacts the side, but while he’s out there, Trbojevic has the Sea Eagles flying. Flying high enough that this Panthers defence might finally be tested. Penrith will slow things right down if Manly start to lift. They will kick to corners, force repeat sets, and wait patiently for the defence to crack. Manly have conceded just 18 points over the last three weeks. This one shapes as an arm-wrestle.
