THE PREDICTION
Manly Sea Eagles have turned their season around thanks to a superb run of form and now coming up against a struggling Newcastle Knights outfit, they can move a step closer towards forcing their way into the top four. Having defeated one of their rivals for that place in Parramatta Eels last week, the Sea Eagles find themselves in a great position and they look capable of mixing it with the best in the league at the minute. They look excellent with ball in hand while they have conceded no more than six points in four of their last five victories. Newcastle on the other hand have lost four of their last five and with the influential Kalyn Ponga sidelined once again, it is difficult to see the Knights getting close to the in-form Sea Eagles with the away side able to cover the -12 handicap.
