There is no bigger myth in Rugby League than the bounceback of a team that just sacked their coach so don’t expect any immediate improvement out of Manly even if the playing group is happier. Kieran Foran may well prove to be a quality coach but taking the helm six months after retiring is destined for disaster.

The Dolphins are not a team that can be taken lightly either given their firepower. While their form has been mixed this year, they have the ability to rip a poor defensive side like Manly to shreds.

Manly have scored 58 in two of the three clashes with the Dolphins but both of those were at Brookvale with the home team winning all three meetings.

Manly are a huge take on team this week with bottom five teams Rounds 3-6 covering at just 35% on the road while interstate underdogs cover at just 39% before Round 8.

The Dolphins are 6-2 ATS at Kayo Stadium while they have covered 16 of 28 off scoring 18 or fewer.

The Phins can be bet with confidence.
