Manly Sea Eagles vs Penrith Panthers Preview & Prediction

The Panthers target a seventh win on the trot when they come up against the Sea Eagles at 4 Pines Park on Thursday night.

Penrith are looking strong for a three-peat of premierships – they’ve gone unbeaten since June and have lost just once since the Tigers upset them at the end of April.

The Panthers’ last three victories have been by 13+ margins, while their defence is somehow improving with each passing season.

Indeed, the Panthers have conceded just 242 points this season. For context, the Warriors are the next best and they’ve leaked 122 points more.

Ivan Cleary’s side have only given up one try in their last two games against the Sharks and Storm, so Manly’s attack are going to have their work cut out for them.

The Sea Eagles’ finals hopes are hanging by a thread after they missed a golden opportunity to sneak into the top eight last week.

Manly were no match for an out-of-form Roosters side, going down 26-16 but in truth, that scoreline flattered them.

Now Manly are tasked with the toughest test in the competition if they want to realistically keep their season alive.

VERDICT

Can’t see the Sea Eagles causing too much trouble to Penrith here. The Panthers are just too good defensively and Manly could barely create anything against a terrible Roosters side last week.

The Panthers have won the last seven meetings, with four of their last five wins coming by 22+ points. They should be set for another dominant victory (Best Panthers -17.5 line odds $1.70 with bet365.)
