The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles are set to face off against the Penrith Panthers in the Jersey Flegg Cup this Thursday night.
The Sea Eagles will be eager to make a comeback after their recent defeat against another strong team, the Sydney Roosters.
Despite their loss, the Sea Eagles put up a solid effort against the competition leaders.
However, they will need to step up their game if they want to secure a victory against the Panthers, who currently hold the third position in the league.
With only three rounds left in the season, the Sea Eagles find themselves in the 10th position and out of contention for the finals.
Nevertheless, they hope to finish the season on a high note and avoid falling to the bottom of the ladder.
Following their clash with the Panthers, the Sea Eagles will face tough challenges against the Dragons, who sit in seventh place, and the Bulldogs, who hold the second position.
The Sea Eagles managed to defeat the Dragons in their previous meeting, which took place in Shellharbour.
Despite their position on the ladder, Manly remains determined to build upon their recent performances and end the season strongly.
In their last game against the Roosters, the Sea Eagles put up a valiant fight, only trailing 10-4 at halftime before ultimately losing 16-8 on a heavy track at Wentworth Park.
