Sydney Roosters vs Manly Sea Eagles Tips
Round 23 kicks off with a rematch from just over four weeks ago, when the Sydney Roosters fell narrowly to the Manly Sea Eagles.
Each round edges closer to finals footy and for the Roosters one more loss would most certainly see them drop out of contention. For Manly, a victory could potentially see them hop from 10th into seventh if results go their way.
Based on recent form I like Manly for the win here, their defence has been fairly solid the last month, while the Rooster's attack has been misfiring all season long.
Sydney’s Game Points Total is set at 23.5 which is a little high considering they have been struggling for points. The Roosters' right side defence has had problems the last 3 games so I like the value in Brad Parker to score anytime.
- The Roosters have lost 2 of 3 games when starting as 3.5-point favourites in 2023.
- Sydney have scored UNDER 23.5 Game Points in 6 of their last 7 games.
- Manly have conceded UNDER 23.5 points in 3 of their last 4 games.
- Roosters concede 41% of their tries on the right side of their defence.
Head to Head
Manly held on for a two-point victory against the Roosters so recently as round 18. It was Sydney’s defence that kept them in the game, facing a whopping 13 more sets than Manly and 37 tackles inside their own 20 metres.
The Roosters have a slight edge against the Sea Eagles in recent head-to-head, winning four of the last seven, since 2019.
Sydney Roosters Form
The Roosters are now in dire straits after another loss last week to Brisbane, which has them 2 wins outside of the top 8.
Their attack has struggled to find any form and hasn't really troubled any team recently, besides the Titans in one half of football.
Another loss this season will almost ensure that the Roosters miss the finals for the first time since 2016.
Sydney Roosters Team News
Egan Butcher will miss the game due to a head knock suffered during Thursday's loss to Brisbane, resulting in Siua Wong taking his place in the backrow.
Drew Hutchison has been included on the interchange, while Jake Turpin moves to the reserves.

Manly Sea Eagles Form
Manly have won three of their last four matches, including wins against the Roosters, Sharks and Dragons.
With the loss of Tom Trbojevic the Sea Eagles were not going to score as many points, so an adjustment to their defence has seen them win more games, keeping 3 of their last 4 opponents under 20 points.

Christian Tuipolotu will be replaced by Raymond Tuaimalo Vaega on the wing
Ben Trbojevic has recuperated from his injury and will join the team on the bench, resulting in Sean Keppie being dropped.

Verdict
Manly will be too good for Sydney and the win as the underdog gives a good return. The Sea Eagles have stepped up in defence recently so keeping the Roosters UNDER 23.5 points will not be an issue.
There are great odds on Brad Parker to be a try scorer in this match going up against a weak right side defence of the Roosters.
Under 23.5
