Manly Sea Eagles vs South Sydney Rabbitohs Preview
Manly will be desperate to keep their finals hopes alive when they welcome a struggling South Sydney outfit to 4 Pines Park on Saturday afternoon. The Sea Eagles snapped a two-game losing streak with a much-needed 28-10 win over the Tigers, with coach Anthony Seibold’s bold move to shift Tom Trbojevic to centre and hand Lehi Hopoate the fullback role showing promising signs.
South Sydney, meanwhile, are in freefall. A fifth consecutive defeat — a 50-28 drubbing at the hands of the Dolphins — has left them languishing near the bottom of the ladder. While they’ve shown glimpses of fight, their leaky defence and mounting fatigue continue to haunt them. The absence of key playmakers Latrell Mitchell and Cody Walker further blunts their attacking edge.
Though Manly has lost eight of their last nine clashes with Souths, they enter this clash with no Origin interruptions and a dominant home record, having won five games at 4 Pines Park by double digits this season. It’s a prime opportunity for the Sea Eagles to bank a crucial win and keep their finals hopes alive.
