It’s second against eleventh in this clash as Melbourne take on the lowly Sea Eagles. Prior to the loss against Parramatta, it had been eight wins on the bounce for Craig Bellamy’s men. Manly, on the other hand, haven’t won in four games and have won just six games all season.

The last time these two sides met was way back in March when the Storm ran out 18-4 winners. Even more bad news for the Sea Eagles is that previous to that result, Des Hasler’s side had won just one from three head-to-heads. Manly have, however, won twice in succession at the Sunshine Coast Stadium.
