THE TEAM NEWS
PARRAMATTA EELS
- Parramatta Eels were unable to build on their win in Round 1 as they fell to a loss against reigning premiers Penrith Panthers at the foot of the mountains last week.
- The Eels were right in the contest at the break as they held a two-point lead but a scoreless second half saw them succumb to defeat and they have lost winger Bailey Simonsson to a head knock for this contest.
Starting 13: 1. Clinton Gutherson 2. Morgan Harper 3. Viliami Penisini 4. Blaize Talagi 5. Sean Russell 6. Dylan Brown 7. Mitchell Moses 8. Reagan Campbell-Gillard 9. Joey Lussick 10. Junior Paulo 11. Shaun Lane 12. Bryce Cartwright 13. J'maine Hopgood Bench: 14. Luca Moretti 15. Ryan Matterson 16. Joe Ofahengaue 17. Kelma Tuilagi Reserves: 18. Ofahiki Ogden 19. Wiremu Greig 20. Brendan Hands 21. Makahesi Makatoa 22. Daejarn Asi
MANLY SEA EAGLES
- Manly Sea Eagles were impressive once again as they made it two wins from two to begin the new campaign, getting the better of Sydney Roosters in Round 2.
- The Sea Eagles have done well in both of their games so far this season but they have lost Tommy Talau to an ankle injury so Raymond Tuimalo Vaega will start on the wing.
Starting 13: 1. Tom Trbojevic 2. Raymond Tuiamalo Vaega 3. Tolutau Koula 4. Reuben Garrick 5. Jaxson Paulo 6. Luke Brooks 7. Daly Cherry-Evans 8. Taniela Paseka 9. Lachlan Croker 10. Josh Aloiai 11. Haumole Olakau'atu 12. Ben Trbojevic 13. Jake Trbojevic Bench: 14. Karl Lawton 15. Corey Waddell 16. Ethan Bullemor 17. Nathan Brown Reserves: 18. Jakob Arthur 19. Tommy Talau 20. Aaron Woods 21. Brad Parker 22. Gordon Chan Kum Tong
THE PREDICTION
This is a really intriguing contest as Parramatta Eels host Manly Sea Eagles. The Eels are tough to beat on home soil and that could give them the edge but they will need to be better than they showed in the second half of last week’s loss to Penrith Panthers. They were kept scoreless in that 40-minute period and with Manly coming into this with two wins from two after impressing in both games to date, it could pay to side with the away side on the handicap.
TIP: MANLY SEA EAGLES +8.5
