Manly Sea Eagles vs Sydney Roosters prediction
Neither of these two clubs have started the season well and they sit in 15th and 14th place respectively. Manly Sea Eagles are still searching for their first NRL win of the campaign but they have played a game less than Sydney Roosters, who are coming off the back of a 4-40 hammering at the hands of Penrith Panthers.
Manly Sea Eagles have enjoyed an extended break and will have no doubt worked on plenty of key things on the training pitch. They should be sharper and fresher than Sydney, whilst playing at home may also prove a positive factor against a struggling backline. Therefore, consider backing Manly Sea Eagles to come out on top for the first time in 2026.
