Parramatta Eels vs Manly Sea Eagles NRL 2025 Round 12 FAQ’s

What will contribute more to the score in this game is Parramatta not having Mitch Moses and Zac Lomax. The Eels are ranked 15th in scoring this season, averaging just 17.9 pts per game despite them having a bit of an increase in that department over the last couple of weeks.

That has though coincided with Moses coming back into the team and Lomax also taking a step up. On the other side of the ledger, Manly have struggled with consistency in both attack and defence but were solid in keeping out the Cowboys last weekend with a mountain of tackles on the tryline without budging.

Parramatta will struggle to break through and their creativity without Moses is not good enough to trouble the Sea Eagles in any major volume of scoring. Manly still have some solid weapons in their backline and Luke Brooks is more than capable of steering this side around the park.

Parramatta secured their 3rd win of the season last weekend with a 28-6 victory over the Newcastle Knights which pulled them off the bottom of the ladder, by just 1 point of differential over the Titans.

Despite everything that has happened so far through the first third of the season, the Eels are just 3 competition points (and a hefty for and against) behind the Cowboys in 8th spot. The league this year is on another level of parity.

Parramatta almost held the Knights to nil, allowing a try in the 76th minute of the game. The Linebreaks were 6-3, Run Metres 1637-1341 and Tackles Inside 20 34-27, everything in favour of the Eels.

Manly steadied their season with a convincing 24-6 win over the North QLD Cowboys in Townsville last weekend. They have now won 2 of their last 3 after a 3 game losing streak threatened to derail their 2025 campaign.

Since we crowed about Manly having the best home record in the NRL over the past 5 years they have lost 3 in a row at 4 Pines Park with the two wins coming on the road.

The Sea Eagles had just 36% of territory in the first half of their game against the Cowboys but did well to defend their line against 29 tackles, allowing just 1 try in the first 40 minutes.

Manly are ranked 5th in the NRL in Linebreaks and Run Metres.
