Match preview:

The Penrith Panthers are looking to revive their top-four hopes when they take on the Manly Sea Eagles at Lottoland. Join The Roar for live scores and a blog of the match from 3pm (AEST).

The Panthers have lost four of their last five matches, including a loss at home to Manly just four weeks ago. They can’t afford another loss today if they want to stay in the running for a double chance in September.

The Sea Eeagles have little to play for except pride after a disappointing 2018 campaign that has seen them compile a 5-13 record.

Both teams are coming off big losses last week. The Sea Eagles were belted 56-24 at home by the Roosters, while Penrith were thumped 50-18 by the Broncos at Suncorp Stadium.

Panthers coach Anthony Griffin has made a few changes to his line-up this week in search of a winning formula. In the backs, versatile utility Tyrone Peachey will play fullback in place of injured young gun Jarome Luai. Dallin Watene-Zelezniak returns from injury and reclaims his wing spot from Christian Crichton.

In the forwards, Corey Harawira-Naera has been named to start, with Trent Merrin dropping back to the bench.

Manly coach Trent Barrett has five-eighth Dylan Walker and winger Jorge Taufua returning from injury, replacing Tom and Matt Wright respectively. Backrower Shaun Lane has also been named in the starting line-up, with Frank Winterstein dropping back to the bench.

Prediction
The Panthers have everything to play for and that should see them return to the winners’ list.

Penrith by 10.
