Manly -6 $1.91 @ Sportingbet confidence 7/10 Brookvale Oval, Friday 7.35pm Last time they met- Manly 24 Broncos 22 Head to head betting- Manly $1.48 Broncos $2.72 Friday night football takes us to Brookvale Oval for the very important clash between Manly and Brisbane. If this game is anything like the last time these sides met it will be a great game to watch. Manly are sitting in fourth spot with a record of 14-8 and last week they put in one of the best first halves you will ever see in blowing away the Newcastle Knights. The Brisbane Broncos are sitting in seventh spot with a record of 11-11 and last week were beaten by the Melbourne Storm in a game where they were not too bad, but couldn't get over the line for a win.

Re: NRL Round 25 Broncos 1-12 @ 4.25 Sportingbet Brisbane have shown strong improvement the last two weeks having stormed to early leads against the Top 2 teams in the competition. Tonight they get their full strength team (minus Yow Yeh) which is something they haven't had in their past 2 games (Glenn missed both, McGuire missed Storm, Parker missed the Dogs). Brisbane dropped off last week when Hannant and Civoniceva went off as they had poor prop rotation options, but McGuire is a machine and improves the prop rotation markedly. Still, Brisbane wont thrash Manly or anything, so take the 1-12 for extra value.

Re: NRL Round 25 Raiders 1-12 @ 4.05 Sportingbet ​Ennis reportedly wont play tonight which I think will be a blow to the Dogs as he sets up so much of what they do. Whilst they are on a 12 game winning streak I think a letdown has to come somewhere, and after going to extra time last week then I believe that situationally, this game screams let down spot. I still don't believe the Dogs will get hammered though, so taking the 1-12 for extra value.

Re: NRL Round 25 Gold Coast -6.5 @ 2.05 sportsbet Penrith with a poor home record and look out of sorts while the Gold Coast still have something to play for with an outside chance of making the semi finals. They have a number of players coming back from injuries in the last few weeks which means that their match fitness should be thereabouts for them to have a go at this penrith side. The Titans look to have too many good ball players in the forward who can get the ball moving while Prince at half back has been pulling the strings for them NZ Warriors +4.5 @ 2.00 sportsbet Both teams out of the running for the top 8 and with little to play for, while the Dragons may lift as Hornby and Young play their final home games for the Dragons while the Warriors may bounce back after losing their coach this week. The Dragons edge in the backs except for the halves with the Warriors pair of Maloney and Johnson capable of doing well if they get some room to move, while the Dragons forwards are pretty one dimensional and the likes of Mateo can give them problems if they can get his offloads off to his backs. Not much between the sides and like the Warriors to keep this close North Qld -12.5 @ 2.30 sportsbet The Cowboys continue to look for a top 4 spot as they played well in the win over the Dragons on Monday night while the Knights were smashed by the Sea Eagles last week which all but ended their top 8 hopes and hard to see them bouncing back here, given that their defence was pretty poor. The Cowboys have some very good little men to cuase them problems with fast play the balls around the rucks while there is enough size and speed out wide to also cause problems if Thurston gets the room and time to find them. Believe that this Cowboys pack will ovewhelm the Knights which will allow Thurston and Bowen to dictate this game

Gold Coast -6.5 @ 2.05 :( NZ Warriors +4.5 @ 2.00 :( North Qld -12.5 @ 2.30 :(

Wests -5.5 @ 2.00 sportsbet Wests -17.5 @ 5.00 sportsbet Wests unlucky to miss out to the Bulldogs last week, and need a win here to stay in contention for a top 8 spot. They lose Farah but gain Lawrence, and like their pack of forwards to get the edge over their couterparts. Expecting Marshall to step up here and have a big game as he needs to now that Farah is out, while the Roosters have lost 5 of the last 6 games and look like a team that is planning their off-season holidays. Like the Tigers to win well here as the Roosters have lost these games to teams lower on the table to them, and with a Tigers side with plenty to play for, then like Wests Parramatta +13.5 @ 2.00 sportsbet Parramatta +2.5 @ 4.00 sportsbet Souths have lost their last two games and have scored just 13 points as their attack has been stifled. They are up against a Parramatta side with little to lose and have shown a willingness to move the ball. Like the Eels to keep this close as they have been competitive in their recent games and the rabbitohs have not done enough to suggest that they are overwhelming favourites here. With Luke also banished to the reserves for drinking, then there could be some problems in the camp, and maybe some complacency given all the talk of them being a strong contender for the title, that they have dropped off their intensity in recent weeks. Should be plenty of points scored in this game, and like there to be little in it in the end Record: 62-100 (-11.59)
