The Sea Eagles from the Northern Beaches are looking to bounce back quickly in the Jersey Flegg Cup after last week's disappointing defensive display.
They will be taking on the Parramatta Eels at 4 Pines Park this Saturday in a bid to redeem themselves and show their true potential on the field.
In their last game against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks, Manly found themselves trailing 12-10 at half-time.
Despite tries from half-back Leroy Murray and hooker Daniel O'Donnell, the Sea Eagles couldn't hold off the Sharks' relentless attack.
It was a tough defeat to swallow, but they are determined to learn from their mistakes and come back stronger in the next game.
Murray showcased his agility and skill by diving over for Manly's first try, thanks to a brilliant offload from prop Kylan Mafoa.
O'Donnell then followed suit, using his speed and vision to score from dummy half after a powerful run from prop Devante Mihinui.
It was a display of individual talent, but teamwork and defensive effort will be key in their upcoming clash against the Eels.
Currently sitting in eighth place with three wins from five games, the Sea Eagles know they have the potential to climb up the ladder and make a mark in the competition.
On the other hand, Parramatta are still searching for their first win of the season, sitting in 12th place.
It's a crucial match for both teams, and the Sea Eagles are ready to give it their all on the field and fight for victory.
