Melbourne Storm vs Manly Sea Eagles Preview & Prediction

The Storm go in search of a third straight victory when they entertain the slumping Sea Eagles on Saturday night at AAMI Park.

Melbourne have won their last two games against the Sharks and Tigers by 13+ margins and four of their last five overall, while they’ve also tasted victory in their last five fixtures at AAMI Park.

The big guns return after missing the comfortable 28-6 triumph over the Tigers last week, with Cameron Munster, Harry Grant and Xavier Coates named to back up after Origin, while Justin Olam and Christian Welch are back after injury.

Craig Bellamy’s side have risen to third on the ladder and are looking good for a strong finish to the regular season and another tilt at the premiership.

The same can’t be said for Manly, who suffered a huge blow during Origin on Wednesday night as Tom Trbojevic went off with a torn pectoral that will likely sideline him for the remainder of the season.

It’s another brutal injury for Turbo, who just can’t seem to string any sort of games together since winning the Dally M Medal a couple of years ago.

Can’t see the Sea Eagles recovering in 2023 – they have a poor record without Turbo and they’ve only won four games since Round 3.

Manly got the better of Melbourne at home earlier this season, but haven’t done the double over them in a single year since 2015.

VERDICT

Melbourne will field one of their strongest teams of the season (providing their Origin stars back up), so can’t see them losing at home to Manly without Turbo.

The Storm put 54 points on a much better Sharks side at AAMI Park a few weeks ago and if the Sea Eagles aren’t careful, they could easily suffer a similar fate (Best Storm 13+ margin odds $1.85 with bet365.)
