THE TEAM NEWS

MANLY SEA EAGLES

• Manly Sea Eagles claimed a hugely important win in their quest to keep their season alive as they edged Sydney Roosters in what was a high-quality contest last time out.

THE PREDICTION

This is a really important clash in the race to make the finals as Manly Sea Eagles host North Queensland Cowboys. The Sea Eagles produced one of their best performances of the season as they got the better of Sydney Roosters last time out but this is a really tough matchup as they take on a Cowboys side that have won their last four. They have been excellent with the ball of late and while there is some doubt surrounding their Origin stars backing up, their form of late is difficult to ignore either way and they have to be fancied to keep their winning streak intact.
