Manly Sea Eagles vs New Zealand Warriors prediction
The Manly Sea Eagles (10th) have had a decent end to their season and are coming off a 40-24 win over the St George Illawarra Dragons in Round 26.
The New Zealand Warriors (6th) are stumbling into the finals, having lost three of their last five matches. They must win and hope other results go their way to finish in the top four.
The Sea Eagles have scored 98 points in their past two games. The Warriors have won only one of their past six games at 4 Pines Park. Sea Eagles winger Jason Saab has scored 10 tries in six games against the Warriors.
Manly has historically dominated this fixture, winning 28 of the last 43 encounters since 1995. However, the Warriors secured a convincing 36-16 victory in their only meeting this season in Round 2.
This is a danger game for the Warriors. They are away from home, in poor form, and crucially, missing their influential hooker. Manly, realistically, are out of finals contention but want to finish off the season in style, especially as it's Daly Cherry Evans' final game.
