Round 7, Sea Eagles (Team List Here) versus Storm (Team List Here) Match Preview Friday 14th of April 4 Pines Park, Sydney.

THE GIST

The Manly Sea Eagles will host the Melbourne Storm in game three, round seven National Rugby League Telstra Premiership in 2023; It doesn’t get more competitive in round seven as these two fight it out for another two points; the Sea Eagles were hammered by the Panthers in round six and will be looking to do some damage against the Storm.

Unfortunately for Manly, their record against the Storm is not the greatest, so they will need to turn up and turn it on in order to produce a win against a confident Melbourne Storm who seems to be finding their identity right about now.

No Nick Meaney for the Storm which re-shuffles the spine making Cameron Munster the fullback and Jonah Pezet the six, Manly are without Reuben Garrick, this will be another physical encounter with two outcomes, Manly turns up or they don’t!
