Dolphins vs Manly Sea Eagles prediction
Inconsistency has been the biggest issue for Dolphins so far this campaign, but their fans can at least take heart from the fact that they have bounced back from defeat in the NRL with victory in the following round. They’ll hope for a repeat of that this time around after losing last time out to Brisbane Broncos and being at home should help their cause.
Manly Sea Eagles have disappointed greatly in 2026 as it stands, particularly from a defensive standpoint having conceded at least 29 points in each of their first three NRL fixtures. You won’t win many games with that weak a backline, putting far too much pressure on their offense. Dolphins should be able to take advantage of that and on home turf, are expected to triumph over the Sea Eagles.
