Good evening to you.
Round 8 of the NRL started strongly on Anzac Day with three matches.
Victories for Gold Coast, Sydney and Melbourne, while Warriors Dragons and Rabbiutohs have a weekend of reflection ahead.
Tonight’s contest between Manly and Parramatta has many stories.
The Sea Eagles have started the season strongly, with four wins, one draw and two losses. They had good starts in previous years and missed the finals, but this team looks really competitive.
The Eels are coming off a tough beating against the underachieving Dolphins. His second-half collapse last week drew the ire of the coach, who accused members of his team of not trying hard enough.
Can Manly continue their good run or will the Eels bounce back and silence the critics?
