Parramatta Eels vs Manly Sea Eagles Preview
The Parramatta Eels will aim to build on their recent momentum when they take on the Manly Sea Eagles under the Friday night lights at CommBank Stadium. A convincing 28-6 victory over the Knights in Round 11 lifted the Eels off the bottom of the ladder and rekindled their slim finals hopes, now sitting just three points adrift of the top eight.
Manly, too, showcased their credentials with a hard-fought 24-6 win against the Cowboys, further cementing their place in the finals race.
Both teams will be affected by State of Origin selections. Parramatta will be without Mitchell Moses and Zac Lomax, while Manly will miss captain Daly Cherry-Evans and forward leader Jake Trbojevic. Dean Hawkins steps in at halfback for the Eels, and Jake Arthur is set to face his former club in Cherry-Evans’ absence.
With new faces stepping up and finals implications on the line, fans can expect a fierce and spirited contest between two sides determined to stay in the hunt.
