Stadium(s)

The match takes place at the historic Brookvale Oval, also known simply as Brookie to many fans, which is a ground that has developed over time to be a hodge podge of different stands.

Behind one set of sticks is the Lyons-Menzies stand which is a small tow tier stand with terracing at the bottom, seating upstairs and some corporate facilities.

Running around from that in one corner of the ground is a larger multi-tier stand with a mix of seating and terracing that runs into the Jane Try stand, or the main stand in the ground which is two tiered and that features media and player facilities.

Behind the other set of sticks is a simple terrace with little to no facilites, with the final side of the ground been a traditional grass verge, or the hill, as it is referred to as by locals.

All-in-all, that allows for around 18,000 fans to attend the action live in person and for a match up such as this one, it will likely be packed out with a decent following from the Panthers.

Location

The match will take place in the Brookvale suburb of northern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, with Brookvale been around 16 kilometres from the central Sydney Central Business District.

The region is known as the Northern Beaches and is a very upmarket part of Sydney that is also popular with tourists due to its natural beauty and the great surfing opportunities.

The stadium itself is just to the north of North Manly, from where the clubs name comes from and on the edge of the centre of Brookvale.

Despite been some miles from the centre of Sydney, it easy for fans to get to the ground from the CBD and other parts of the city as it sits just off of the main A8 road.

About

Although these two clubs are based relatively close to each other, especially in terms of Australian sport, there is no real rivalry between the clubs but with many Panthers fans working in Sydney, there is always a big away following for these matches which adds to the atmosphere and the sense of occasion.

History

Penrith Panthers v Manly Sea Eagles News

The Penrith Panthers and Manly Sea Eagles have plenty of things in common including been relatively small clubs in the NRL who have been able to step up and enjoy lots of success, they have long histories, and they have both had many stars of the sports wear their colours.

Both the Panthers and the Sea Eagles have not only matched it with the best in Australia, but both have also featured in the World Club Challenge but despite that, they often get overlooked by many media outlets.

Stadium(s)

In the 2025, the Panthers will call the impressive Parramatta Stadium home as their own but in 2026, their will return to their spiritual home at the foot of the blue mountains.

Penrith Stadium, which must have had the most renaming’s out of any NRL stadium including the likes of Pepper Stadium, Penrith Park and the Penrith Football Stadium, has always been a stadium that had a great atmosphere but was left behind by other grounds, including Parramatta’s.

The old incarnation of the stadium featured two grandstands down both sides of the pitch, one of which had the corporate and media facilites of the ground, whilst both ends were relatively open, aside from a small grass bank that did house some fans.

In many ways, the new stadium will retain that look and feel to it as it two will consist of two main grandstands, but these will be gigger, have more facilites, are stepper so keep fans closer to the action and will offer much more in the way of corporate facilites.

It will still retain the grass banking at both ends and all in all will be able to host around 25,000 fans when full, as it likely will be for a matchup such as this one, where there will also be a decent following from the away side.

As well as hosting the Panthers, the ground has hosted a number of international test matches, including games at the Rugby League World Cup when hosted in Australia.

Location

The Panthers, as you would expect are based in the city of Penrith, which h is in the Greater Western Sydney region and whilst it is around 30 miles from the downtown Sydney CBD, urban sprawl over the years has all but linked the two and Penrith is in many ways a suburb of Sydney.

Despite that, it retains a sense of independence and its own feel and that always adds to the occasion on match days when a team from the big city itself comes to town.

The ground itself is based just on the outside of the centre of Penrith and within walking distance of the main train station in the city which makes it easy for fans to get to and make sit a popular away day for those based in Sydney.

About

Although this one could be classed a derby, it is around 1 hour by road between the two stadiums and takes over 2 hours by public transport, so whilst it has the big game feel from two huge clubs playing in front of packed house, it isn’t really a derby.
