Manly Sea Eagles Form
Manly are building strong momentum, winning three straight and starting to look like one of the more dangerous attacking sides in the competition.
A dominant 38-6 win over the Cowboys showcased their ability to control games through both discipline and execution.
Even with Tom Trbojevic going down early, Manly adapted well, with Tolutau Koula stepping up at the back and the team continuing to generate points through structured attack.
Across their last three matches under Kieren Foran, the Sea Eagles are averaging 39.33 points per game while conceding just 14 , highlighting a strong balance between attack and defence.
Their ability to generate run metres and create second-phase play is a major strength, allowing them to apply sustained pressure. The loss of Trbojevic is significant, but their recent form suggests they have enough cohesion and depth to maintain their current level.
Parramatta Eels Form
Parramatta’s season has been inconsistent, sitting at 3-4 but coming off an important 38-20 win over the Bulldogs. That result snapped a rough stretch of form and showed what the Eels are capable of when their attack clicks, capitalising on opposition errors and generating points through strong middle play.
However, their broader form remains a concern. Across their last five, the Eels are conceding over 30 points per game while averaging just under 24, pointing to ongoing defensive issues.
While the return of key players like Sean Russell and Kelma Tuilagi adds depth, their ability to contain attacking teams remains questionable.
Parramatta are capable of competing when they control possession, but against in-form sides, their defensive lapses can quickly become costly.
