Manly Sea Eagles - Leichhardt Oval
Leichhardt Oval is a short trip across town for the Sea Eagles but the mystical powers of the Lilyfield venue have brought them undone on countless occasions. Manly has managed only one win from their past six visits to Leichhardt and their overall winning percentage at the ground is a moderate 41%.

Pretty sure we have only played (and lost) there twice since Matty Ballin's debut back in 2007 - so not many opportunities to overcome this "hoodoo".

I was thinking our worst might have been one of the Dragons' home grounds. Tried to rack my brains but not many happy memories from those parts in recent times.

Other notables
  • Souths 0/13 in Melbourne all time (2 venues)
  • Dragons lost their last 14 in Melbourne since winning 2 in 1999 (4 venues).
  • Sharks 6/41 at Brookie with current losing streak of 6
