The match was a tale of two halves, with the Eels dominating the opening 40 minutes and the Sea Eagles roaring back in the second half to snatch victory.
The Eels charged out of the blocks, scoring two quick tries through their dangerous wingers, Maika Sivo and Haze Dunster. The Sea Eagles were reeling, but they managed to compose themselves and hit back with a try of their own from fullback Tom Trbojevic.
The second half was a different story. The Sea Eagles came out firing, with halfback Daly Cherry-Evans leading the charge. They scored three unanswered tries, including a stunning solo effort from Trbojevic, who left Eels defenders in his wake.
The Eels fought back valiantly, but the Sea Eagles' defense held firm. In the dying minutes, Cherry-Evans slotted a penalty goal to give the Sea Eagles a seven-point lead that they would hold on to until the final whistle.
The win was a huge boost for the Sea Eagles, who have now won three games in a row. They are now in contention for a top-four finish and a tilt at the NRL premiership.
For the Eels, the defeat was a setback, but they will take heart from their strong first half performance. They will be looking to bounce back next week when they face the Melbourne Storm.
The NRL action continues next weekend with a blockbuster clash between the Sydney Roosters and the South Sydney Rabbitohs. Don't miss it!
