Best Bet

Manly +4.5
Line
Bet Now
$1.90

Manly have lost star Tom Trbojevic but they remain an excellent bet getting a very nice start at home against Melbourne.

Jahrome Hughes is not named in the 17 – though is in the extended squad – and confidence will only increase if the Storm star is missing.

Home underdogs of a try or more in Rounds 5-8 cover at a very good clip of 63%.

Manly are a different team at Brookvale too. They are 21-13 ATS at the ground including a 5-2 cover record in day games and a 7-3 cover record off a win of 13 or more at the ground.

There is absolutely no knock on the Storm but interstate teams that are shorter than $2 off an interstate trip cover at just 31%.

The Sea Eagles are being wildly underrated in this matchup and can be bet with confidence to cover the line in a game they can win outright.
