Manly Sea Eagles vs St. George Illawarra Dragons Preview
Manly will be eager to rebound after back-to-back defeats, while St George Illawarra is aiming for its first set of consecutive wins in the 2025 season. The Sea Eagles’ early momentum has faded, with Daly Cherry-Evans’ contract situation and Tom Trbojevic’s injury casting a shadow over their recent performances. In contrast, the Dragons are coming off an impressive 38-16 victory over the Titans, highlighted by strong showings from wingers Tyrell Sloan and Christian Tuipulotu. However, their struggles on the road continue — they haven’t claimed a win at 4 Pines Park since 2017. Given Manly’s home-ground advantage at Brookvale and the reliability of DCE, the Sea Eagles look well-placed to cover the line.
