Gold Coast Titans vs Manly Sea Eagles prediction
The Gold Coast Titans (17th) remain bottom of the ladder after a 44-14 defeat to the Brisbane Broncos in Round 14, their fifth loss in their past six games.
The Manly Sea Eagles (9th) suffered a tough 26-22 golden point loss to the Knights, surrendering a 16-0 lead in the process. They have three wins and three losses in their past six matches.
The Sea Eagles have dominated this fixture recently, winning both clashes in 2024 and holding a 16-12 overall advantage.
The return of Tom Trbojevic could not come at a better time for a Manly side desperate to stay in touch with the top eight. Facing a Titans team missing its two best forwards to Origin duty, the Sea Eagles have a golden opportunity to get their season back on track.
