Wests Tigers vs Manly Sea Eagles Preview
There is plenty going on in this clash with the Tigers trying to avoid the wooden spoon, the Sea Eagles pushing for a Top 4 berth and Luke Brooks returning to Leichhardt for the first time after switching to Manly this year. This is a matchup the Sea Eagles have dominated in recent years with six straight wins, winning five of those by 14-plus.
The number in this one is too large though, the Tigers have won the last four clashes at Leichhardt and have covered five of six at the venue as an underdog over the last four seasons and are a perfect 3-0 against the spread getting double digits at the ground.
The Tigers get Junior Tupou back while the Sea Eagles have lost Tommy Talau so the plus is a very good play.
Tom Trbojevic has 53 tries in his last 52 games including 18 tries in 16 wins over the last two seasons, Jason Saab has eight tries in his last nine games and Lachlan Galvin has four tries in his last nine games with three of those coming at home.
