It is the final round of season 2013 with the Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles and Penrith Panthers doing battle at Brookvale Oval in Sunday afternoon football. Join us for live scores and updates from 2.00pm AEST.
The Eagles are headed into finals football and take on a Panthers side out of contention and playing for pride in what should be an entertaining affair with little implications as Manly will finish in the top four regardless.
Manly have been in awesome form and are coming off a dominant display against the Melbourne Storm last Saturday night.
Their big guns are firing and will be spearheaded by the dynamic halves combination of Daly Cherry-Evans and Kieran Foran.
Penrith have been gallant this year and have played well above expectations considering an injury toll that would have crippled plenty of other sides.
Prediction
Much depends on what mindset the Panthers are in knowing their season is over. Coach Ivan Cleary will be hoping his side has one last great performance for 2013. But they are coming up against a Manly side oozing confidence.
A packed house on a Sunday afternoon at Brookvale is always a tall order so expect a fired up Eagles side desperate to keep their roll going with playoffs next weekend.
The Panthers will be competitive but look for the Eagles to run away with a high scoring affair.

So Manly run dead because they did not want to play the Bunnies. That won't help them.

Yes , we are not bothered losing a game that gives us an extra 24hrs to recover, and allowing us to rest some of our X factor players

Storm will be a tough one for the Bunnies but not one that they can't win are you saying that you are happy with a loss to Penrith? I find that hard to believe Did Tooves blame the ref?

Can a moderator please inform me what "comments" I made during this match that were deemed offensive to someone. I agree with a comment a prominent Storm supporter round here says. Oooh can't a Manly supporter agree with STORM.. nah .it gets wiped if someone doesn't 'agree'. My comments weren't inflammatory, nor disrespectful. I think I've got the caper here. ;) I'm not going anywhere. Genuine good luck wishes and fair play is Sooo wrong, maybe a bullying approach is how this caper is run.

It is what it is, we may have tanked ( in your eyes) but its better than rorting the cap to gain advantage , you guys played out of your skins last night and only just beat the Titans , if your not careful Souffs will do you ,, personally I'd like storm to win , only because I can't stand Souffs and 40 + years without silverware for that mob ain't long enough ,,, maybe after 50 I'd be happy for em ,,, on second thoughts. ,,,,,,, hopefully not in my lifetime ,,,,,,ha ha ha

Not much bud , I already had my say this morning, it was the result I hoped for, and extra day to prep, diff being I'd have rested even more players , this game means nothing , I'd be worried if I were a bunnies fan , Storm will finish you on Friday , we will take care of Easts on sat , The fun begins
