Manly Sea Eagles vs Penrith Panthers Preview & Prediction

The Panthers will be searching for their ninth consecutive victory over the Sea Eagles when the two teams clash in NRL Round 5 action on Saturday at 4 Pines Park.

It was another case of no Nathan Cleary, no worries last week for the Panthers as they completed dismantled the Roosters in a 22-16 victory. That score flattered the Roosters as the Panthers were completely dominant, racing out to a 14-0 lead before the Chooks crossed right on halftime and for two consolation tries in the last five minutes.

Penrith have now won eight of their last 12 games without Cleary, proving they don’t need the best player in the world to continue to win games.

Jerome Luai stepped up with a blistering attacking performance, allowing the likes of Izak Tago and Sunia Turuva to work their magic out wide, while Isaah Yeo was outstanding guiding the team through the middle.

Meanwhile, Manly’s promising start to the season has come to a halt after suffering back-to-back defeats to the Eels and Dragons.

Losing to the Eels on the road isn’t a worry, but their performance against the lowly Dragons last week was truly dreadful.

Despite that display, Anthony Seibold has named the same 17 players in what will also see Daly Cherry-Evans break the club record for most Sea Eagles appearances with 310.

VERDICT:

Cleary’s absence again means we can get great value on the Panthers when they would normally be priced around the $1.20-30 range for this game.

Penrith were outstanding last week and Manly were awful – not going to overthink this one (Best Panthers win H2H odds $1.64 with Dabble.)
