The Manly Warringah Sea Eagles are focusing on improving their defense ahead of their NSW Cup match against the Warriors in Auckland this Saturday.
Last week, they faced a setback, losing 26-18 to the North Sydney Bears despite demonstrating resilience by fighting back twice.
This defeat marked their fourth loss in five games, raising concerns within the squad.
Coach Brett Kimmorley expressed disappointment in the team's performance against the Dragons.
However, he noted an increase in training intensity as they prepare for their upcoming match at Go Media Stadium.
The Warriors currently hold eighth place with three wins from six games, while Manly finds themselves in 13th position.
