Preview:
The unfortunate news of Tom Trbojevic’s season-ending chest surgery has put a dampener on Manly’s promising season.
Not surprisingly, the bookmakers have reacted accordingly drifting the Sea Eagles out to $26.00 in the Premiership market and $2.24 this week against Parramatta.
The Eels have plenty of soul searching to do after last week’s heartbreaker against the Broncos at Suncorp. Parramatta’s courageous second-half fightback showed the Eels have some real resiliency heading into the finals, but can the Eels use their golden point loss as a motivator heading back home this week?
Manly has won two of their last three meetings against Parramatta, including a blowout 36-24 victory back in Round 18. The Sea Eagles have also been profitable as the line underdog this year covering in six of their eight games.
Trobjevic’s absence will call upon Daly Cherry-Evans to create plays from halfback, but the captain’s creativity still mightn’t be enough to make up for last week’s loss to the Storm.
In case you missed it, Parramatta own a 6-3 record on the back of a loss this season. The added inclusion of Brett Ferguson also payed huge dividends in the late stages against the Broncos, which should help the Eels come good on their 5-3 record as the line favourite.
Tip: Manly Sea Eagles at $2.42
