Manly Sea Eagles vs Sydney Roosters Preview & Prediction

Fresh after coming away from Vegas with opening round wins, the Sea Eagles and Roosters will be hoping to double down at 4 Pines Park on Sunday.

Manly produced a second-half blitz to get the better of the Rabbitohs in a high-scoring affair, while the Roosters knuckled down to take out the Broncos by a 20-10 score.

Both teams are expected to improve on their finishes from last season and early bragging rights will be on the line here.

Manly are smokeys for the premiership if Tom Trbojevic can stay fit throughout the season and the star fullback’s performance in Vegas was encouraging.

However, the Sea Eagles have suffered a blow to their backline, with Jason Saab ruled out for six weeks with a hamstring injury. Tommy Talau is his replacement on the wing.

The Roosters meanwhile welcome Dominic Young back from injury as the towering English winger makes his club debut. Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is also back in the forwards in a straight swap for the suspended Spencer Leniu.

Trent Robinson’s side look like they’ve been through a big pre-season and after last year’s poor start, the Roosters look fired up and ready to go to launch 2024.

VERDICT:

Should be a cracking contest between two heavyweight clubs. Liked what I saw from the Roosters in Vegas – their trademark grit in defence was back and their attack had improved.

Still some question marks around Manly’s defence for me, so will side with the Roosters in a tight one (Best Roosters win H2H odds $1.72 with Dabble.)
