The Panthers lost to the Eagles only last Saturday night, and will face them again in the first week of the finals. Manly put 28pts past the Panthers who had been in reasonable form leading into the game. The Panthers ended up finishing seventh, and are now in a do or die situation against Manly. The Sea Eagles won their final two matches to get themselves sixth on the ladder. Despite losing to them on Saturday, the Panthers aren’t without a chance in this one, and if they play at their very best, they will test the Eagles. Going for an upset here, the Panthers haven’t had the best fortnight, but will be desperate to bounce back in this one. Manly will stick with them and make a serious game of it, but we expect the Panthers to advance to the next round here.
- Both teams have won three of the past five games.
- Penrith have won 15 of the last 29 games against the Sea Eagles.
