Andrew Hendrie: May 5, 2023

The NRL Round 10 match between the Brisbane Broncos and Manly Sea Eagles features as Bettingpro.com.au’s best bet for Friday May 5.

Bet Of The Day May 5 – read on below for our reasoning behind today’s best bet.

Key Points

Broncos have won seven of their nine games this season
Sea Eagles have lost their last five games outside of NSW
Sea Eagles have lost three of their last four games at Suncorp
Broncos beat Sea Eagles 38-0 in Magic Round last season
Sea Eagles have won just one away game all season
Broncos’ last two home wins this season were by 13+ margins

We’re off to the NRL for today’s best bet as the Broncos look to cement their status at the top of the table when they face the struggling Sea Eagles.

Brisbane are flying in first place with seven wins from nine games this season, and they will be determined to put on a show in front of their home fans in Magic Round after falling to the Rabbitohs last week.

We’re confident the Broncos can produce a big display here and win by 13+.

The Sea Eagles aren’t playing as well as their fifth spot on the ladder suggests. Manly were thumped by 16 points at home to a poor Titans side last week and there’s seemingly never-ending controversy simmering at the club.

Manly are also terrible on the road, losing their last five games outside of NSW.

The Sea Eagles have only won one away game all season and that was a tight victory over the last-placed Tigers in a game they were lucky to hold onto. Manly also leaked 44 points to a sub-par Penrith side on the road earlier this season.

Five of the last six meetings between these teams have seen a margin of 13+ for the winning side, so these matchups are usually blowouts.

The Broncos crushed Manly 38-0 in Magic Round last season and honestly, a similar result wouldn’t be that surprising tonight.
