Preview:
Des Hasler’s side put an end to their two-game skid last week holding on for a narrow 22-20 win over the Cowboys up North.
Manly still find themselves inside the top eight, but they’ll need to be wary of a Dragons side looking to regain some form after earning a much-needed win themselves last week over the Dogs.
St. George became somewhat of an afterthought during their previous five-game losing streak, but with the competition razor tight, suddenly the Dragons are a win away from rejoining the top eight should results go their way.
With four straight losses to the Dragons, you can expect the Sea Eagles to treat St. George with plenty of respect this week. Manly lost 12-10 to the Dragons back in Round 6, a game that saw the Sea Eagles dominate possession but not the scoreboard.
With the Brookvale advantage this time around, the Sea Eagles have been installed as the favourite to improve on their 4-3 record at home. Despite their recent dominance in this fixture, the Dragons have won only one of their last three trips to face the Sea Eagles away from home.
The bookies have sided with Manly this week, and it’s hard to argue considering the Dragons are 5-5 on the back of a win over the last 12 months. Ben Hunt enjoyed a brilliant week overall last week, but that mightn’t be enough against a Manly side that allow very few cheap opportunities around their own try line.
