Newcastle Knights vs Manly Sea Eagles Preview

Newcastle Knights and the Manly Sea Eagles will go head to head at McDonald Jones Stadium on Thursday night.

The Knights sit in eighth spot on the ladder despite losing their last two games by a considerable margin.

Manly on the other hand are coming off two wins and have opened as the clear favourites for this game.

The Knights have a great record against Manly, winning the last three times that these two teams have met.

I still think Manly will be tough to beat here and although I’d like to see their odds drift I think they’ll win.

Betting Update:

Newcastle have been smashed in betting this week and have no been installed as favourites for the game.

The Knights touched $2.60 at the start of the week but are now the $1.77 favourites with Ladbrokes.

Manly are unwanted, they opened at $1.50 but have drifted out to $2.05 with punters steering clear.
