The Sea Eagles will be facing off against Melbourne despite the loss of star player Tom Trbojevic to injury.
The fullback injured his knee and will be out for four weeks, dealing a significant blow to coach Anthony Seibold.
However, the Sea Eagles have been performing well in the past two rounds and hope to continue their winning streak against Melbourne.
On the other hand, the Storm are looking to bounce back after a surprising loss to St George Illawarra in Round 4.
Coach Craig Bellamy is expecting a strong response from his team.
The upcoming clash between the Sea Eagles and the Storm is anticipated to be a high-quality contest between two top teams.
Manly has had the upper hand in recent matchups, winning three out of the last four games against Melbourne.
The Storm, on the other hand, have struggled at 4 Pines Park since 2020 but are determined to change that narrative in their upcoming game.
It is expected to be another epic battle between the fierce rivals.
