With four wins from their past six games, the Dolphins are proving a real threat in 2024 while the Sea Eagles will be looking to get their season back on track after a disappointing defeat to Canberra.
Wayne Bennett's men continue to defy the odds with some key injuries and have now taken care of the Eels and Cowboys with a close loss to the Knights in between to move into the top four, just two wins behind equal competition leaders Cronulla and Melbourne.
If the Dolphins can produce the same attacking flair and get the job done at home against Manly on Thursday, it will be the first time in the club's history to come away with four consecutive wins.
The Sea Eagles, meanwhile, will be out to prove they're still a major competition threat after letting up a 20-0 lead to go down to the Raiders in Round 9.
With forward Ben Trbojevic back from a hamstring injury, coach Anthony Seibold looks to have a clean bill of health and Manly will be desperate to get their confidence levels back up before they face the Broncos in Magic Round.
