The Manly Sea Eagles will look to return to winning ways when they take on the in-form Brisbane Broncos at Suncorp Stadium, Friday, 8:05pm(AEST).
Anthony Seibold’s outfit has suffered back-to-back defeats for the second time this season despite scoring 24 points in both games. The latest loss came against the Dolphins by six points.
In fact, the Sea Eagles are the second-highest-ranked team in the league for points scored but languish all the way down in eighth. However, they have only scored a combined six points against the Broncos in the previous two meetings.
Meanwhile, Brisbane cruised to victory against the Parramatta Eels to make it four wins from their last five matches. Assuming results go their way, the Broncos could jump into the top four after this round as the second-favourites for the premiership according to the bookmakers.
Prediction: Broncos by 8 points
