MANLY SEA EAGLES VS GOLD COAST TITANS PREDICTION
Manly Sea Eagles will look to make it three straight wins as they aim to push towards the top four rather than looking over their shoulder at the chasing pack. The race for the top eight is extremely tight and every win is crucial, especially for teams like Manly who are far from secure in their position. Gold Coast Titans can make a late push for the finals and having won their last three, they will be confident. However, Manly will take some beating on home soil and are the slight preference here.
