It has been a week of drama at Brookvale this week with a firestorm ensuing after Daly Cherry-Evans announced he would be leaving the club at the end of the year.
While this drama will likely harm Manly’s long-term chances in 2025, it will more likely have a galvanising effect this week with DCE coming out of this clean.
The Eels are in all sorts and the teams they are most vulnerable against are teams with hot attacks like Manly. This has the prospect of getting very ugly.
Manly are 21-12 ATS at Brookvale. They are 8-4 ATS at the venue off scoring 30-plus. They are 7-2 ATS when favoured by at least a try at Brookie. The Sea Eagles are 5-1 ATS in day games at the ground.
The Eels are poor in afternoon games and are 15-24 ATS as an underdog.
The Sea Eagles look a chips-in job.
Same Game Multi
Tom Trbojevic has scored seven tries in his last eight games against Parramatta.
Jason Saab has 65 tries in 89 games and is an elite tryscorer.
Haumole Olakau’atu has 36 tries in 90 games since elevating to a regular starting position in 2021.
Value Bet
Ethan Bullemor has been one of the surprise packets this year, having a sensational start to 2025. He has three tries this year on the back of some fierce running and some quality backing up. He is excellent value to go over again.
