New look spine for Sea Eagles in SG Ball

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles will field a new look spine against the Parramatta Eels at 4 Pines Park on Saturday, March 18, in round seven of the SG Ball Cup.

“With our recent spate of injuries, we will see a new spine and winger this weekend,’’ said Manly Coach Brett Fulton.

“I am expecting the new boys to make the most of the opportunity provided.

“We are looking forward to playing the Eels. It’s always a hard fought game.”
