One of the competition’s best attacks, and the league’s best defence, go head-to-head when Canterbury meet the Sea Eagles on Friday night.
The Sea Eagles are the only finals-bound team to have beaten all their top eight opponents this season.
With what first looked a patchwork team, coach Cameron Ciraldo has orchestrated a remarkable turnaround. “Manly have been a side where they have so much strike and so much X-factor, but they’ve probably underachieved, in probably their eyes, of where they are ,” King said. Last season they had leaked 769 points – the worst of any team. That was worse than wooden spooners, the Wests Tigers. Now, their defence is even better than Penrith, statistically speaking.
“They’re not a huge pack, but they work very hard for one another, and it’s probably going to be up to us to challenge them with our carry,” Croker said.
