The Storm return home to Brookvale and the Warriors are all bust dusted in 2024 creating a recipe for plenty of points on Friday night.
Best Bet
If there is one certainty about how Sea Eagles-Warriors games play out it is that the points come fast and furious.
In the last 15 meetings between the two sides, a total of 13 over gone over the number. Six of the last seven clashes have reached 44 points.
Both teams are in a huge over spot which only boosts confidence.
The over is 37-21 when Manly are off scoring 20-plus. It is 24-11 when they play a team outside the Top 8. It is 10-5 when the Sea Eagles are favoured by double digits.
The over is 15-3 when the Warriors are off scoring 28-plus. It is also 9-4 when they are an underdog of 14 or more.
Expect the points to come at a big rate of knots.
