Round 5: Sea Eagles v Panthers match preview

Super Saturday NRL continues with what may be the match of the round at 4 Pines Park as the Manly Sea Eagles host the Penrith Panthers.

The Sea Eagles will be fighting to bounce back from consecutive losses to the Dragons and Eels, while the Panthers defied the odds and won their third match in a row against the Roosters last Thursday night without halfback Nathan Cleary and star forward James Fisher-Harris.

Manly coach Anthony Seibold has named an unchanged line-up following their loss in round four.

Penrith coach Ivan Cleary will welcome back front-rower Fisher-Harris to the starting side, pushing Lindsay Smith back to the interchange bench and Mavrik Geyer out of the starting 17.

Sea Eagles v Panthers betting predictions

The Penrith Panthers have been backed heavily to beat the Sea Eagles, coming from +120 into as short as -175.44. The visitors have won each of their last eight matches against the Sea Eagles, while they’ve covered the line in 15 of their last 19 games. The addition of Fisher-Harris to the front row will assist the Panthers in winning the battle in the middle third as they cover the -3.5 handicap at -111.11 with NRL betting sites.

Brian To’o has been switching between left and right wing for the Panthers, but it has not stopped him from scoring two tries to go with two line breaks and 24 tackle breaks. He especially enjoys playing the Sea Eagles, scoring at least one try in four of his last five matches. At -105.26 with Bovada, he is a deserving favourite to score a try at any time.

Tom Trbojevic has had a brilliant return from injury with three try assists, one line break, 16 tackle breaks and a try. On his home ground, Trbojevic has scored at least one try in each of his last four night matches. If the Sea Eagles are to put points on the board, Trbojevic will be the most likely to score a try at +145 with the top NRL bookmakers.
