The Sea Eagles were flat last week in a surprise loss to Parramatta, but this is the right spot to bounce back. Manly return home, Tolu Koula is named to return in the centres, Haumole Olakau'atu didn't get on the field in Origin and is fresh, and the matchup history is heavily in their favour.

Manly have won four straight against the Cowboys, including a 38-6 win in Townsville earlier this season and a 42-12 win the last time these sides met at 4 Pines Park. The official head-to-head trend is even stronger, with the Sea Eagles winning eight of their last 10 against North Queensland.

The Cowboys ended a three-game losing streak by beating Penrith before the bye, but they have been vulnerable when beaten. Five of their seven losses this season have been by 13+ margins, and they have been held to 20 points or fewer in all but one of those defeats.

Saab is the obvious tryscorer angle. He has scored six tries in his last four games against the Cowboys and should get the right edge chances if Manly rebound with more energy at home.

Take Manly 13+, Cowboys Under 20.5 team total, and Jason Saab in both the anytime and first tryscorer markets.

Manly have won four straight games against North Queensland.
The Sea Eagles have won eight of their last 10 games against the Cowboys.

Head to Head Stats

Manly hold a 4-1 record across the last five meetings winning the last 4 straight. The last two wins have been particularly one-sided, with the Sea Eagles winning by 32 points in Townsville earlier this season and by 30 points at 4 Pines Park in 2025.

Manly Sea Eagles Form Analysis

Manly have lost three of their last five, but they still look strong enough for this matchup. Across their last five they have averaged 21.2 points scored and only 16.4 conceded, and their defence ranks third for points allowed and second for linebreaks conceded.

The home bounce matters here. The Sea Eagles looked lacklustre last week, but the return of Koula adds speed and strike, while Olakau'atu being named to back up gives them more punch on an edge.

North QLD Cowboys Form Analysis

North Queensland are coming off a strong win over Penrith, but their season has still had a boom-or-bust feel. Across their last five they have averaged 20.4 points scored and 26.8 conceded, and their defeats have often opened up into big margins.

Tom Dearden being listed among the reserves is worth watching, but the named side still has to prove it can handle Manly's speed and kick pressure at Brookvale. If the Cowboys fall behind, the Under 20.5 team total is very live.
