Manly Sea Eagles vs Newcastle Knights Preview

It’s quite a betting spectacle in the final round with Manly heavily favored despite key absences. Tom Trbojevic’s return to fullback is pivotal, but the absence of Daly Cherry-Evans, Jake Trbojevic, and Tolutau Koula looms large. Manly’s previous struggle without Cherry-Evans resulted in a scoreless outing against South Sydney, highlighting tactical vulnerabilities under Anthony Seibold.

Newcastle, despite missing Kalyn Ponga, Bradman Best, and Dane Gagai, are in a more stable position. Their conservative game plan, bolstered by Fletcher Sharpe at fullback, has historically yielded strong away performances. The Knights boast a solid track record covering the spread, especially after low-scoring games, covering 10 of 13 on the road and six consecutive matches post-scoring fewer than 16 points.

Dylan Lucas’s try-scoring form and Tom Trbojevic’s prolific record add to Newcastle’s strength in this matchup, making them an enticing bet for the week.
