THE TEAM NEWS

MANLY SEA EAGLES

• Manly Sea Eagles were really impressive in round 1 and will hope their bye last week does not disrupt them as they aim to make it back-to-back wins to begin the campaign.
• The Sea Eagles were far too good for Canterbury Bulldogs and will look to build on that here with Josh Schuster coming into the side at five-eighth for his seasonal debut, taking the place of Cooper Johns.

Starting 13: T. Trbojevic, Tuipulotu, Parker, Koula, Garrick, Schuster, Cherry-Evans, Paseka, Croker, J. Trbojevic, Olakau’atu, Tuilagi, Aloiai – Interchanges: Weekes, B. Trbojevic, Bullemor, Keppie – Reserves: Sipley, Lawton

Unavailable: Jason Saab (Injured), Morgan Boyle (Injured)

PARRAMATTA EELS

• Parramatta Eels suffered defeat in their clash with Cronulla Sharks last week, leaving them without a win in either of their opening two games to begin the campaign.
• The Eels struggled defensively with the Sharks throwing plenty of shape at them but Brad Arthur has refused to hit the panic button and will roll with the same 17 as last week.

Starting 13: Gutherson, Sivo, Penisini, Blake, SImonsson, D. Brown, Moses, Campbell-Gillard, Hodgson, Paulo, Cartwright, Doorey, Hopgood – Interchanges: Momoisea, Murchie, Greig, Makatoa – Reserves: Arthur, Ogden

Unavailable: Shaun Lane (Injured), Ryan Matterson (Suspended)

THE PREDICTION

Manly Sea Eagles did a good job to run out clear winners in round 1 and will now look to make it successive wins as they return to action following their bye week. The Sea Eagles were too good for Canterbury Bulldogs and will be confident of claiming another success as they host Parramatta Eels. The away side are 0 from 2 after going down to Cronulla Sharks last week and having won just one of their last five away games against Manly, the home side are favoured in this one.
