Manly have generally been an unstoppable force under Kieran Foran with the one exception – when the club’s two most dynamic players have been missing.

The two times the Sea Eagles have conceded more than 18 since Foran took over was when Haumole Olakau’atu and Tolutau Koula were absent. They will both be back this week. When those two play, the Sea Eagles are 10-1 against the spread under Foran.

The Sea Eagles have completely dominated this matchup with four straight wins, the last three being by 18-plus. They have covered 19 of the last 27 dating back to 2008.

Manly are 27-15 ATS off a loss while they are 9-3 ATS against teams outside the Top 8.

Manly No.6 and rising star Joey Walsh is just getting started in first grade but he has proved himself a tryscorer with two in three games. That continues his NSW Cup tryscoring form where he has crossed 14 times in 24 games. He is one of the best value tryscorer bets you will catch this week.
