Manly will be desperate to get back to winning ways when they travel up north to face Brisbane in Magic Round.
The Sea Eagles have lost their past two games despite scoring 24 points on each occasion, with their defence letting them down against Canberra and the Dolphins.
However, they will face a difficult task against the Broncos who have won four of their past five matches.

Who will replace Tom Trbojevic at the Sea Eagles?
The Sea Eagles will have to do without their talisman Tom Trbojevic for the next two months after he suffered a hamstring injury during last week’s loss.
The fullback’s absence has caused a major headache for Anthony Seibold as well as Michael Maguire ahead of the State of Origin opener next month.
Tolu Koula filled in for Turbo for the remainder of the match against the Dolphins in Round 10 and has received the nod once again.
The flyer starred for Manly at the backend of last year in the No.1 jersey and is now ahead of Reuben Garrick in the pecking order for that position.
The 21-year-old has scored five tries in 10 appearances so far this year in the centres, while averaging just shy of 150 running metres per game.
Meanwhile, Trbojevic’s injury wasn’t the only spanner in the works for the Sea Eagles as Jason Saab also suffered an injury in the defeat.
As a result, Manly’s backline will have a distinctly different look against the Broncos with Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega picked on the wing, Tommy Talau shifting into the centres and Jaxson Paulo also recalled.
