Marshy, read last week that coach Anderson reckons that the Warriors are suffering from a lack of confidence esp after the Dragons loss...whatever happened to admitting that your team is playing like crap cos they aren't fit or committed to the game plan and not playing as a team LOL!
Warriors do not have a good record at Manly and the way they have been playing, it is an opportune time for the Sea Eagles to take advantage...but to be honest, knowing the Warriors- this is the kind of game they could win and win well!
Are they giving odds as to who will score the most tries cos I will not be surprised to see Webb and Meli adding a brace or more to add to their personal tally. But to do that, Jones and whoever the fly half is, need to take control at the coalface and make good decisions and the front row have to stand up and be counted!
It should be a high scoring game- defence not the focus (I have some major reservations about the Warrriors woeful defence- Manly at times are not that much different) but some excellent attacking rugby league! Andrew Walker is inconsistent but he can play when he wants to!
Warriors have to avoid trying to play catch up football and lead from the front early and build on it..if that happens and they get their groove back, then it will be a comfortable win.
Otherwise, Manly will win benefit from a try for try type/ tight game scenario!
Not sure if that helps and have to look at the H2H and line betting...but as mentioned before, the Warriors unpredictability could seduce one to put a couple on for a +12 win. When they are on (and unfortunately?they have not been this year) no defence can stop them!
But who would want to be Daniel Anderson 3 rounds in?
