Manly are coming off a much needed bye, their 2nd of the season, losing two straight before the break. A 26-22 Golden Point loss in rd 14 was followed by a crushing 28-8 loss to the current 17th placed team Gold Coast.

Despite the poor form they are only 1 win away from the Broncos in 5th spot in a very congested middle tier of teams. Their usual strong home form has been missing recently having won only 1 of their last 4 at Brookvale Oval but they still have one of, if not the best home record of any team in the NRL over the past 6 seasons.

Over their last 5 games they rank 13th in Points Scored with 19.6 per game and 8th in Points conceded with 19.2 pts allowed per matchup.
