Parramatta Eels vs Manly Sea Eagles Preview

Manly heads to CommBank Stadium looking to overcome another setback when it faces a Parramatta side refusing to let its season fade away. The Sea Eagles must now adjust without experienced halfback Luke Brooks, placing added responsibility on young Joey Walsh as the club enters a critical stage of the campaign. Parramatta has consistently shown resilience despite an injury-ravaged season and continues to challenge more fancied opponents through effort and commitment. Manly remains the stronger side on paper, but the Eels have developed a reputation for making life difficult regardless of the circumstances. Another spirited performance would come as little surprise in what shapes as a dangerous assignment for the visitors.
