Manly Warringah Sea Eagles vs St. George Illawarra Dragons prediction

Following a crucial win away at Newcastle Knights to keep their top eight hopes alive, Manly Warringah Sea Eagles remain in must-win territory, with St. George Illawarra Dragons the latest opponents they cannot afford to drop points against if the Sea Eagles are to potentially take the fight into the final round of the regular season.

With nothing at stake, the Dragons are opponents not to be taken lightly, which is emphasised by their two wins over the past three rounds. But we saw a very impressive performance last time out from Manly against the Knights, putting up 44 points. If they can replicate that impressive attacking production then we should see another big win for the hosts.
