Sydney Roosters are coming off a defeat against the Melbourne Demons, a game that ended 14-8. However, the home team will be disappointed with how things ended for having won four consecutive games in prior encounters to that defeat. In that run of games, this team defeated Parramatta Eels, Canterbury Bulldogs, Wests Tigers, and St. George Illawarra Dragons. Heading into this game, the Sydney Roosters have accumulated 26 points from 18 matches this season, leading them to 4th in the NLR standings.
Manly Sea Eagles
Manly Sea Eagles made it three wins in a row with their last weekend victory over the Gold Coast Suns in a game that ended 38-8. However, the prior encounters to that win also saw this team pull off an incredible 46-6 victory over Newcastle Knights while defeating the NQ Cowboys after extra time after tying them 20-20 at the end of regular time. Heading into this game, this team has just one defeat in their last five games, coming against South Sydney Rabbitohs, which ended 14-0, while picking a win over the St. George Illawarra Dragons in another encounter. Heading into this game, Manly Sea Eagles are seated just one point below the Sydney Roosters in the 5th spot in the standings with 25 league points in 18 games.
Expert Betting Tips
The two teams are playing at the same time after the first half of the season, leaving this game open. However, after losing the first leg of this game at home, I expect the Sydney Roosters to go all out for a win. In the meantime, the Manly Sea Eagles are coming off a run of victories, but I do not see them keeping things running. Expect a tight encounter, but Sydney Roosters should get the nod here and get back to winning ways.
