Prop James Fisher-Harris has been sidelined by a knee injury suffered against the Raiders, his place taken by Matt Eisenhuth. Hooker Soni Luke is back on deck after suffering a concussion in Round 4 so Tyrone Peachey goes back to 18th man. Star back-rower Liam Martin (hamstring) remains sidelined.

After extra time last week, against Newcastle, the Manly side had to settle for a draw.
Speedster Jason Saab will play his first game of the season having recovered from a knee injury, taking over from Christian Tuipulotu (knee). The injury to Ben Trbojevic (hamstring) sees Karl Lawton join the bench.
Sea Eagles playmaker Josh Schuster will reportedly miss another week after sitting out of the club’s Round 5 clash with a quad injury . Cooper Johns will once again replace him at five eighth.
The Panthers turned on the jets against the Raiders last week, but they will find this game harder against the Sea Eagles.
Manly has proven to be tough to beat so far in 2023, but beating the Panthers on the road is never an easy victory.

PREDICTION.
I like Penrith here at home ,and I think they should win ,again not by a lot. So, Penrith minus 6.5 points @ $1.62 looks good. But you can get Manly plus 11.5 points @ $1.82.
