198
The number of run metres made by winger Reuben Garrick against the Rabbitohs last week.
The Manly 'back five' all ran for more than 100 metres each, so let's hope our great backline can click into gear and find plenty of open space against the Knights.
72
The number of points Manly recorded in their two wins against the Knights in 2021. The Sea Eagles conceded just 18.
58
Saturday's match will be premiership game number 58 between the Sea Eagles and the Knights. For the record, Manly has won 35 of them.
49
The astonishing amount of tackles made by none other than the tireless warrior himself in Jake Trbojevic against Souths last week.
He has now made 117 tackles in three games. You just can't help but love this true champion.
36
Our highest ever win in Mudgee was a 36-0 victory win over the Gold Coast Titans in 2021.
Tom Trbojevic made a superb return from injury, running for 202 metres. 'Turbo' scored a try and was involved in two try assists as the Sea Eagles piled on the points in an impressive first half performance to lead 26-0 at half-time.

Reuben Garrick certainly enjoys playing in Mudgee.
In his two games there for the Sea Eagles, 'Gaz' has brought up 32 points through three tries (including a double against the Titans) and 10 goals.
The high flying winger has also scored 32 points in three games this season. May the points keep flowing this Saturday!

The amount of points the Sea Eagles put on against the Canberra Raiders last year in Mudgee.
The Sea Eagles ran in four tries to one through Garrick, Morgan Harper, Haumole Olakau'atu, and Tom Trbojevic. Garrick also kicked four goals for a personal haul of 12 points.
17
The amount of tackle breaks Tom Trbojevic has made in his three games this season. May there be many more and we continue to see the best of 'Turbo'.
Leading the way for most tackle breaks is Knights full-back Lachlan Miller, which sets up another mouth watering clash between the full-backs at Glen Willow Stadium.

How many times the Sea Eagles have won the Malcolm Reilly Trophy against Newcastle.
Named after Great Britain great Malcom Reilly, Manly and Newcastle play for the annual trophy when they meet for the first time each season in honour of the man who made a big impact at both clubs.
It's up for grabs again this Saturday in Mudgee!

The number of line breaks Garrick has made in three games this season to sit on top of the NRL leaderboard for this alongside the Titans' Alofiana Khan-Pereira.

The number of wooden spoons the Sea Eagles have proudly never won.
It's an oldie but a goodie!
