Wests Tigers vs Manly Sea Eagles Preview
This clash has plenty at stake, with the Tigers fighting to avoid the wooden spoon and the Sea Eagles chasing a Top 4 spot. Adding to the drama is Luke Brooks’ return to Leichhardt after his move to Manly. The Sea Eagles have had the upper hand in recent years, winning six straight, five by 14 points or more.
However, the spread seems generous, considering the Tigers’ recent record at Leichhardt. They’ve won the last four encounters there and have covered five of six as underdogs at the venue over the past four seasons. They’re also 3-0 against the spread when getting double digits at Leichhardt.
The Tigers welcome back Junior Tupou, while Manly will be without Tommy Talau, making the plus points look appealing. Tom Trbojevic’s incredible tryscoring form, Jason Saab’s recent streak, and Lachlan Galvin’s home-ground success are worth noting, but the Tigers could make this a tighter contest than expected.
Head To Head Bet
We're tipping Manly Sea Eagles to win at $1.17 odds.
