Prediction: Manly Warringah Sea Eagles VS Newcastle Knights 2025-06-05
The Newcastle Knights, a team that's been struggling to find their footing, especially on offense, are about to face off against the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles. The Sea Eagles are looking fierce, having just come off a strong performance led by Jazz Tevaga in the middle third.
The Knights, on the other hand, will be without Leo Thompson for four weeks, which is a significant blow to their already struggling attack. The Sea Eagles, meanwhile, will be bolstered by the return of Jake Trbojevic and Siua Taukeiaho, which should give them a significant boost in the pack.
Given the odds, the Sea Eagles are favored to win, with a price of 1.42 at Bovada and 1.43 at BetRivers. The spread is set at -5.5 points in favor of the Sea Eagles, with a price of 1.87 at Bovada.
My best bet for this matchup is the Manly Warringah Sea Eagles to cover the spread of -5.5 points. The Sea Eagles have been playing some solid football, and with the return of Trbojevic and Taukeiaho, they should be able to overpower the Knights. The Knights' horror attack has returned, and without Thompson, they'll be hard-pressed to keep up with the Sea Eagles' pace.
So, if you're looking to place a bet, take the Sea Eagles to cover the spread. The odds are in their favor, and with their recent form and the return of key players, they should be able to take care of business against the struggling Knights.
