Newcastle Knights vs Manly Warringah Sea Eagles prediction
Manly Warringah Sea Eagles have been in a real rut of late, losing each of their last four and most recently being nilled by the Dolphins, Kristian Woolf’s side shutting out the Sea Eagles in a 0-22 beating. The return of Tom Trbojevic should help them on that front when you consider the impact he has on his teammates through his leadership and ability on the field.
However, Newcastle Knights are certainly the stronger all-round side and are full of confidence following three straight wins in their quest to seal a top eight spot. Back them to all but lock in their place with victory in this latest round of fixtures.
