Strong charge from Alvaro. Now the Eels have a penalty as the Sea Eagles defenders were offside.

KICK-OFF! Eels send it high and almost over the dead-ball. Sea Eagles with first use.

Here come the Sea Eagles, onto the ANZ field. They're in their white jersey with maroon stripes looking to avenge their first-half shellacking from the Tigers. Next is the home side, to a generous applause in of course, blue and yellow - can they get off the duck? we'll find out tonight!

Is today gonna be the day that Eels are going to come back to form? Maybe. They're taking on an embattled Manly side, with some in-fighting during the week. Manly have also lost their away games thus far this season, so some hope for the Eels, who haven't won anywhere! Kick-off in this derby is in less than ten minutes!
