Manly Sea Eagles vs St. George Illawarra Dragons Preview
A huge opportunity to stake a Top 8 claim at 4 Pines Park as the 11th-placed Manly Sea Eagles look to leapfrog the in-form, ninth-placed St George Illawarra Dragons.
Champion Maroons Daly Cherry-Evans and Ben Hunt go head to head in the No.7 jumpers, while Anthony Seibold and his 2023 assistant Shane Flanagan are in opposing boxes.
Manly has lost four of its last five, following up a high-quality 26-20 win over Melbourne at home and the bye with a 32-22 loss at Penrith last Sunday. Winger Tommy Talau scored four tries in a losing effort.
Nathan Brown will start at prop for the suspended Josh Aloiai, with Ethan Bullemor joining the Sea Eagles bench.
The Dragons have won three of their last four, with only a horrific second-half capitulation to the Bulldogs against their name. Since then, theyve run down the Panthers 22-10 on the road with Origin players out and demolished the Tigers 56-14 after another slow start.
Zac Lomax piled on 32 points just two days after his Origin debut. The Saints go in unchanged this week.
The Dragons are searching for a repeat of their 20-10 upset at Wollongong in Round 4, their eighth win from their last 11 against the Sea Eagles. This is the joint ventures first visit to Brookvale since 2019, having lost five of their last six there.
The Saints win at Penrith was a reversal of some generally underwhelming away form in 2024 and theyre an enticing $2.60 underdog here, despite the Sea Eagles 4-1 home record this season.
