Big test for Manly in Harvey Norman women's

Manly Warringah Sea Eagles face a real acid test on Sunday, September 1, in their quest for the Harvey Norman NSW Women's Premiership finals.

The Sea Eagles have slipped to seventh place with three rounds remaining and face the second-placed Illawarra Steelers at 4 Pines Park on Sunday in another crucial game. 

With the top four teams contesting the finals, Manly sit on seven points, two points behind the fourth-placed Mounties.

Following the Steelers clash, Manly play the Bulldogs (fifth) and the Sharks (12th) 

Manly's cause was not helped with a shock 44-20 loss to Wests Tigers at Leichhardt Oval last Sunday that saw the home side move off the bottom of the ladder.

Winger Georgia Sim crossed for a double against the Tigers.
