NRL Tips – Storm v Sea Eagles

Both Melbourne and Manly are missing plenty of big names but it is the Sea Eagles that present as value after being able to reset after a bye.

The number of big names missing for each team is immense. The Storm go into this one with no Harry Grant or Jahrome Hughes to go with Xavier Coates, Eli Katoa and many more. The Sea Eagles remain without Tom Trbojevic, Ben Trbojevic, Clayton Faulalo and Luke Brooks.

The Storm have certainly taken a bigger knock so the Sea Eagles are the play.

Manly have won and covered five of the last seven. These teams met just six weeks ago and Manly ran riot in a 30-4 win.

The Sea Eagles get a reset off the bye and they are 27-18 against the spot off a loss. They are 14-7 ATS off a loss. They have covered 12 of 21 interstate.

Melbourne have covered just two of 11 off a loss, just three of 12 interstate and just four of 14 off conceding 28-plus.

Manly can be bet with a good degree of confidence.

Tolutau Koula has 25 tries in his last 38 games and he loves playing the Storm with six tries in six games.

Haumole Olakau’atu should be able to take advantage of Melbourne’s dire edge defence. He has scored four tries in his last six games against Melbourne.

Sua Fa’alogo is the most dangerous tryscoring option Melbourne have with the sharp fullback crossing 15 times in 20 games this season.

Value Bet

Joey Walsh

Young Manly talent Joey Walsh has been a prolific tryscorer in the lower grades with 14 tries in 24 games and he has brought that to first grade. He has three tries in six games starting in the NRL and is certainly not afraid to use his big body close to the line. He is huge value at $4.
