Updated June 3, 2011 16:58:00 Manly are at the pointy end of the competition and have the chance to make a statement when they host Sydney University at Manly Oval.
The Marlins have a 6-3 win-loss record to find themselves in third position nearing the halfway mark however they are yet to hit their straps.
Last week's five-point loss to Souths came on the back of narrow victories over Norths and Penrith and Tim Lane will be hoping the return of Western Force backrower Tevita Metuisela can provide some spark.
Sydney Uni are playing a forward-oriented game which is working well at a time when they have few of their top line players on deck.
Last weekend's victory in their grand final replay over Randwick was particularly impressive and they have now won three matches in a row.
Victory on Saturday will see the winner move to second or third before the Sydney-Country break.
Join the ABC Grandstand commentary team of Steve Robilliard, Brett Papworth, John Morrison, Stephanie Brantz and Louise Ransome as they bring you all the action live from Manly Oval in NSW and the ACT at 3pm on Saturday June 4 on ABC 1. Interstate viewers can catch-up on every minute on ABC iView.
