A rivalry that harks back to its peak in the 1980s, the Eels and Sea Eagles still have a deep loathing for each other, so expect both to be firing on Friday night.

Best Bet
There is little doubt that Manly are a better team than Parramatta this year but the Eels getting more than a try at home seems way too big.
The Eels will be without Mitchell Moses and Zac Lomax, their two most dangerous weapons, but Manly are missing key man Daly Chery-Evans and Star Tom Trbojevic looks to be playing at well below optimal health.
Parramatta have tended to play Manly better than the market expects. They have covered four of the last five clashes while the Eels have won five of the last six against the Sea Eagles at CommBank.
The venue is one of the better home ground edges in the NRL too. The Eels have covered five of seven at CommBank while they have covered six of seven at the ground when an underdog.
Manly are also shocking favourites away from Brookvale. They are 5-13 ATS when favoured away from Brookvale. They are also 17-22 ATS off a win.
The start for the Eels is too juicy to pass up.
Same Game Multi
Josh Addo-Carr has been airborne since moving to the Eels, netting seven tries in eight games.
Tolutau Koula has been in sensational scoring form with seven tries in his last seven appearances.
Value Bet
Jordan Samrani has looked super since getting an opportunity with the Eels. He scored off the bench last start and now is in the run on team playing in the centres. He has a nice tryscoring record in NSW Cup with 10 ties in 21 games. Nice play.
