[Steelers]

Warriors are playing well and should win this one at home.

[Dakink]

Yup, Warriors for mine - though they havent been convincing in the land of the long white cloud.

[Super Cronk]

I think Manly are starting to find a little form...they still need to gel but i think they will be to strong for the Warriors. But with that being said Orford rarely has 2 good games in a row so they could very well lose.

NRL.com: Game Preview
Warriors v Sea Eagles
Ericsson Stadium
Sunday 2pm

After their negative start to 2006, victory here will put the Warriors into ?the black? for the first time. Manly?s goal will be to continue to improve.

Form: Both have won their past two, the Warriors beating defending premiers Wests Tigers and premiership favourites Newcastle; while Manly have accounted for Cronulla and the Roosters.

History: The Warriors have won five of the past seven meetings, but Manly have been successful in the past two clashes at Ericsson.

Danger sign: Big Manu Vatuvei. Although he has been prone to some howling errors, he has the bulk to trouble Manly?s defence out wide. A tryscorer in all four games for the Warriors.

Best Bet? Manly at 1-12 in the Margins. They have impressed more than the Warriors over the past fortnight.

Money-spinner: The Sea Eagles have overturned halftime deficits to win their past two games. Take a Warriors/Manly result in the Half/Full Double.
