Newcastle were a defensive disaster against Souths but are not without a hope this week against Manly.
Best Bet
Newcastle were a debacle last week but the line in this one against Manly at Brookvale is too big.
The Knights have won three of four against the Sea Eagles. The key here though is their bounceback numbers. The Knights are 19-12 against the spread off a double digit loss and have covered 7 of 10 off conceding 40-plus.
Manly were highly impressive for much of their win against Melbourne before again fading late. The Sea Eagles though have covered just 6 of 16 at Brookvale and just 3 of 9 at the ground when favoured by more than a converted try. Off conceding 30-plus, Manly are 9-15 against the spread.
Manly are being overvalued here.
