The Sea Eagles and Rabbitohs, both on 16 points, seek crucial wins in Round 14 after recent performances.
The Sea Eagles and Rabbitohs are part of the six-team logjam on 16 competition points heading into Round 14 so a win is critical to staying in touch with the top four.
Manly had their three-game winning streak halted by the Sharks last weekend while the Rabbitohs took advantage of a mid-season bye to rest weary bodies and prepare for a huge fortnight against the Sea Eagles and Broncos before another bye in Round 16.
After losing their first three games at home to the Raiders, Knights and Roosters, the boys from Brookie have hit back with victories over the Eels, Titans and Broncos to square the ledger 3-3 at 4 Pines Park.
