Preview:
Neither club managed to capitalise away from home last week with plenty on the line.
Manly lost by eight points as they travelled across the ditch to face the Warriors, leaving the Sea Eagles sitting fifth on the ladder with three rounds remaining.
Despite a strong second half, the damage was already done in the first as Manly surrendered three unanswered tries in the opening 30 minutes.
The Tigers, meanwhile, also came out flat against the Bulldogs, adding further frustration for punters and fans as Michael Maguire’s side is running out of time to find a spot back inside the eight.
These two clubs met back in Round 1, a game the Tigers won comfortably 20-6. Robbie Farrah was the star with a pair of tries, but things have certainly changed since then in the course of Manly’s season.
The Sea Eagles have lost only three of their 10 games at home this year, while they’ve also bounced back from a previous loss to the tune of a handy 5-2 record.
With Manly at a very short price, you’ll have to get creative to find some value in the market, though.
Fortunately, in their seven home wins the Sea Eagles have won by an average margin of 14-points. Throw in Manly’s 4-2 record as the line favourite at Brookvale this year, and you have a safe bet to Cover.
