Manly Sea Eagles vs Brisbane Broncos Preview

The standing Magic Round engagement between Manly and Brisbane sees both teams coming off jarring losses – but it’s shaping as an especially tough bounce-back proposition for the Sea Eagles.

Anthony Seibold’s rejigged side dropped from outright second to sixth courtesy of an ugly 26-10 home loss to Gold Coast last Saturday.

Taniela Paseka’s workhorse display was a rare highlight in a flat and disjointed effort that made one wonder how they beat Melbourne 18-8 a few weeks back.

Tom Trbojevic, Brad Parker and Tolutau Koula all return to the Manly backline, but Jake Trbojevic is a huge loss.

Ben Trbojevic returns to the interchange from injury, while Aaron Woods is in for the suspended Toafofoa Sipley.

The ladder-leading Broncos went into last Friday’s blockbuster minus suspended duo Ezra Mam and Payne Haas.

They stayed in the fight against Souths half a game before being overrun 32-6, Adam Reynolds playing with a overtone of distraction usually reserved for ex-teammate Cody Walker.

Mam and Dally M leader Payne Haas return this week as the Broncos look to avenge just their second defeat of the season.

The teams have met on the Friday night at Suncorp as a Manly home game – either as part of a double-header or Magic Round – for six of the past seven seasons, with the Broncos boasting a 4-2 advantage.

The Broncos unleashed a 38-0 beatdown on the Sea Eagles in Magic Round last year with Selwyn Cobbo bagging a memorable hat-trick.

The Broncos may look a little short as $1.30 favourites but their level of consistency and quality has been considerably higher than the Sea Eagles’, who have really only produced one decent performance in the past five weeks.

Jake Trbojevic is Manly’s glue and will be sorely missed up against a Haas- and Carrigan-led pack.
