Sea Eagles v Broncos: Turbo sidelined; Arthars No.1 gun
The Sea Eagles are out to rebound as they return home to take on the Brisbane Broncos on Saturday night.
4 Pines Park has been a fortress for Manly over the years, however, they have struggled at the venue this season, losing their last three games at home.
Having suffered a disappointing loss to Parramatta last weekend, the Sea Eagles are desperate to find form against the Broncos.
Brisbane will travel to Sydney fresh off the bye and coach Michael Maguire will be eager to see his side maintain the intensity for the full 80 minutes.
The Broncos fell to the Dragons in Round 11 and have struggled for consistency this season.
The week off provided a chance to reset and they'll come out firing in their first match at 4 Pines Park since 2014.
