NRL Preview Round 4 - Sea-Eagles VS Warriors

April 8th 2007 03:34
Manly Sea-Eagles VS NZ Warriors @ Brookvale Oval, 8/04/07


If the weather stays fine at Brookvale this afternoon, than this could be one of the most exciting games of the season, as two of the quickest, most lethal backlines clash head to head in an important battle for two competition points.

While Manly are so far undefeated in the competition, the Sea-Eagles have not really been tested in their victories against Canberra, Wests and the Sydney Roosters.The Sea-Eagles team has struggled in the early exchanges, only putting their opposition away in the final quarter of matches.


They face a tough test today in their clash with the under rated New Zealand warriors outfit, who have shown touches of promise in winning two of their three opening victories thus far. The Warriors were impressive in easily accounting for the Eels and broncos in successive weeks, but seemed to be lacking intensity in their patchy display against the Storm last Sunday.

The clash between two of the most exciting fullbacks in the competition will be memorable, with Manly's Brett Stewart looking to add to his impressive record of 30 tries in games at his home ground.

In a close but high scoring match, I am going for a Warriors victory on the back of their imposing forward pack getting on top of the home sides pack of toilers. While Manly have scored 14 tries thus far this eason, they still don't look as if they have enough points int hem to compete with the Warriors.
