Canterbury Bulldogs vs Manly Sea Eagles, NRL Finals 2024 - Expert Prediction
With Tom Trbojevic back for Manly it is hard to go past them as favourites this weekend despite Canterbury getting Matt Burton back from concussion.
Manly have an outstanding record at 4 Pines Park with Turbo on the field winning 6 games and losing only 1 this season. The dominance they exerted over Canterbury just two weeks ago is still fresh in the mind of many players in both teams.
The Bulldogs have been one of the best defensive teams all season but have allowed 34 and 44 points in consecutive losses to finish the season. Form is important in this league and right now the Bulldogs do not have any. Canterbury are also the least experienced team in finals with only 9 of their 17 players having played a finals game before.
Lock in the Sea Eagles and Turbo to cross for a meat pie!
- The Bulldogs went 4-8 as the Away team this season.
- Manly have a 54% win rate with Tom Trbojevic playing and went 6-1 at home this season with him in the team.
- The Bulldogs went 16-8 to the Under this season, 5 of the last 7 Manly home games have also gone Under.
- Tom Trbojevic has scored 13 tries in his last 9 games against the Bulldogs.
Head to Head

The Bulldogs surprised everyone but themselves this year as they took the competition by storm. Their defence continued to improve following the coaching switch two years ago with the team finishing 3rd in Scoring Defence, allowing only 18 points per game to their opposition.
They had won 10 of 12 games heading into round 26 against the Sea Eagles, a game in which star half Matt Burton failed a HIA. They ended up losing that game as well as last weekend’s final regular season matchup against North QLD to fall out of top 4 contention highlighting how important Burton is to the team’s already stunted attack.
