The Parramatta Eels are expecting a torrid forward battle on Thursday night when they take on traditional rivals Manly at Brookvale oval.
The Eels are in excellent form after their 30 point win over Canberra but will need to be right on their game against a Sea Eagles side that will be keen to remind former star Kieran Foran of his time at Manly.
Eels hooker and Indigenous All Star Nathan Peats (pictured) is just two weeks back from his dislocated elbow and knows just what a slog it will be taking on the Manly pack and in particular good mates Josh Starling and Darcy Lussick.
