The Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles are set to face off against the South Sydney Rabbitohs in Round 18 of the National Rugby League (NRL) season at the 4 Pines Park.

The Sea Eagles have had a very inconsistent season thus far as they started the campaign with five wins and as many losses in 10 games. Since then, the run of inconsistency has continued as they have since managed two victories and three defeat over the course of the last five rounds and currently sit ninth on the NRL ladder.

The Rabbitohs had a spectacular beginning to their campaign as they started their season with four wins in five games. However, since then they have only managed to grab victory on two occasions from 11 games as they have now fallen all the way down to second-last on the NRL ladder, with only the Gold Coast Titans baosting a worse record.
