Round 14: Panthers v Sea Eagles match preview

Three-time defending NRL premiers Penrith will host Manly at BlueBet Stadium, with the Sea Eagles looking to repeat their incredible round five effort on Sunday afternoon.

The Panthers have been installed a $1.35 favourite, with the Sea Eagles outsiders at around $3.20 with NRL betting sites. The $1.90 line has been set at 8.5 points.

The Panthers lost against the Dragons last weekend, failing to control possession and complete their sets to go down by 12 points. The home side need a win to ensure they remain in the top four on the NRL ladder.

The Sea Eagles snapped a three-game losing streak in round 12 when they beat the Storm in Brookvale. With an uneven number of competition points, they will be hoping to beat an understrength Panthers and boost their chances of playing finals football.

Sea Eagles coach Anthony Seibold has State of Origin stars Daly Cherry-Evans, Haumole Olakau’atu, and Jake Trbojevic to back up from Wednesday’s clash. Tolutau Koula (shoulder) has been named to return from injury, shifting Tommy Talau back to the wing and pushing Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega back to the reserves in an otherwise unchanged line-up.

Panthers coach Ivan Cleary has named his Blues contingent of Brian To’o, Jarome Luai, Liam Martin, and Isaah Yeo to back up from Wednesday as well. Jesse McLean, Brad Schneider, Preston Riki, Mavrik Geyer and Tyrone Peachey have been relegated from the starting side with Lindsay Smith and Liam Henry named on the bench. Dylan Edwards has been named in the reserves, leaving the possibility of returning from a quad injury that prevented him from making his State of Origin debut.

Penrith Panthers v Manly Sea Eagles match predictions

The Panthers have opened as short-priced favourites to win this match but drifted, now paying -285.71 with Australian bookmakers.

The Panthers have won four of their last five clashes with Manly and two of those wins have been in Penrith. Following a loss, Penrith has covered the line in each of their last nine matches at BlueBet Stadium. There is great value with Neds for the home side to win in a narrow, 1-12 point win (+185).

Overcast conditions have been predicted for Sunday’s match following heavy rain in Sydney throughout the week. The conditions will make point-scoring even more difficult for sides with key players having taken the field in Origin on Wednesday. Eight of the last nine games between these two sides at BlueBet Stadium have been low-scoring affairs, and there will likely be less than 43.5 points scored in this match (-111.11).

Tries have not come so easily to Panthers winger To’o this season, finding the in-goal area just four times all year. However, he has scored at least one try in 11 of his last 13 appearances at BlueBet Stadium and against the weaker Jason Saab, is capable of finding the try line this Sunday (-111.11).
