The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles will clash with the Penrith Panthers at CommBank Stadium this Sunday night for Round 9 of the NRL Telstra Premiership.
Under Kieran 'FOUR-an 0', Manly has enjoyed a fantastic run, winning all four matches since he took charge.
They recently secured their first home victory of the season against the Eels, following impressive away wins against the Dolphins, Cowboys, and Dragons.
Meanwhile, the Panthers showcased their strength last week with a commanding 44-12 victory over the Knights, highlighted by a first-half hat-trick from fullback Dylan Edwards.
Prior to that, they clinched a narrow golden-point win against the Dolphins, after suffering their only loss to the Bulldogs in Round 6.
Historically, Manly has struggled against the Panthers in recent seasons.
However, they did manage to defeat the reigning champions 26-10 when the two teams last faced each other at the same venue last season.
In team updates, Manly has made one change, with Nathan Brown stepping in for the injured Corey Waddell, and both Blake Wilson and Jackson Shereb are on the extended bench.
