Manly Sea Eagles vs Dolphins NRL 2026 Round 24 FAQs

The Sea Eagles’ season has unravelled rapidly. Manly sat third after Round 15 but have now lost five consecutive games, with their finals chances hanging by a thread after conceding 42 unanswered points in last week’s 42-20 defeat to Melbourne.

Their defensive collapse is the biggest concern heading into this matchup. Manly have conceded 128 points across their last three matches, including defeats by 36 points to Cronulla and 22 points to Melbourne.

That makes Dolphins -10.5 the preferred line selection. The Dolphins have already secured their first finals appearance and enter this game having won three straight, including a remarkable 40-32 comeback against Brisbane after trailing 24-0.

The attacking matchup also points towards Dolphins Over 30.5 points. Manly have conceded an average of 42.7 points across their last three games, while the Dolphins rank fourth for points scored and possess enough strike across the park to punish a defence that looks short on confidence.

Connelly Lemuelu Anytime Tryscorer is the player selection. The Dolphins back-rower has scored three tries across his last three games, including a double against Brisbane, and Manly’s recent problems defending their edges should provide another opportunity for him close to the line.

The Dolphins’ only victory over Manly came in a 30-24 result in 2024, meaning they are still searching for their first win over the Sea Eagles at 4 Pines Park.

Manly Sea Eagles Form Analysis

Manly’s season has fallen apart after five consecutive defeats, with their defence deteriorating badly over the past month.

The Sea Eagles have conceded 42 points to Melbourne, 48 to Cronulla and 38 to Gold Coast across their last three matches. That stretch has seen them allow 128 points, and their most recent loss may have been the most concerning of the lot.

Manly raced to a 14-0 lead against Melbourne before conceding 42 consecutive points. After completing almost 85 per cent of their sets through the opening 30 minutes, they completed just 11 of their next 20 and completely lost control of the contest.

Dolphins Form Analysis

The Dolphins have officially booked their first finals appearance and are $10.00 for the Premiership, now having an opportunity to build serious momentum heading towards September.

Their 40-32 win over Brisbane showed both the danger and resilience in this team. The Dolphins fell 24-0 behind inside 24 minutes but fought their way back behind a brilliant Isaiya Katoa performance, with the halfback producing five try assists.

Hamiso Tabuai-Fidow and Selwyn Cobbo both crossed twice, while Lemuelu also scored a double as the Dolphins overwhelmed Brisbane with their attacking weapons.

The Dolphins have now won three consecutive games and 11 of their last 13 overall. Their attack sits fourth in the competition for points and second for run metres.
