Manly Sea Eagles vs Wests Tigers Predictions

Friday, June 27, 2025

6:00pm @ 4 Pines Park, Sydney

Final Score Prediction

Sea Eagles

23 : 19

Tigers

The Sea Eagles welcome the struggling Tigers to Brookvale in what should be a comfortable home victory.

Manly’s attacking firepower and home ground advantage will prove too much for a Tigers side still searching for consistency.

While Wests have shown glimpses of improvement, the class difference should tell in the end.

The Market Assessment

The bookies have installed Manly as strong favourites at $1.49, reflecting the gap in class between these sides.

The Tigers at $2.60 might tempt some punters, but the smart money is on the home team.

The line of -6.5 looks challenging given our predicted margin of just 4 points, suggesting the head-to-head market offers better value.

Why Brookvale Will Be Brutal

The Sea Eagles rarely drop games at their fortress, and with Tom Trbojevic in the lineup, they possess the X-factor to break any defensive line.

The Tigers’ away record speaks for itself – they struggle on the road.

Manly’s pack should dominate the middle, giving their playmakers the platform they need to control the game.

The statistics paint a clear picture of Manly’s superiority:

Power Rankings: Sea Eagles well ahead (6.33 vs 10.17)
Attack: Both teams averaging similar points
Defence: Manly’s defensive structure far superior
Home Form: Sea Eagles tough to beat at 4 Pines
Recent History: Manly dominated recent clashes
