SGI Dragons vs Manly Sea Eagles match preview

Super Saturday football for round four of the 2024 NRL Premiership kicks off in Wollongong with the St George Illawarra Dragons hosting the Manly Sea Eagles at WIN Stadium.

The Dragons have had an up-and-down start to the season, suffering two losses in a row following their round one win over the Titans on the Gold Coast. On the other side, the Sea Eagles are flying high despite a controversial loss to the Eels last weekend in Parramatta.

St George coach Shane Flanagan welcomes back hooker Jacob Liddle to the starting side this weekend, shifting Jesse Marschke to the interchange. Jaydn Su’a will line up in the second row and Hame Sele will kick off his second stint with the Dragons from the bench.

Sea Eagles coach Anthony Siebold has named an unchanged line-up following last weekend’s match.

Dragons vs Sea Eagles NRL Rd 4 predictions

The Manly Sea Eagles come into this match in brilliant form, with Tom Trbojevic at full fitness, a reinvigorated Luke Brooks at five-eighth, and Haumole Olakau’atu at his damaging best. The Dragons have lost each of their last 10 matches against opponents who are ranked higher than them on the ladder. They also lost their last match against the Sea Eagles at WIN Stadium, where the visitors were without star fullback Trbojevic. Get on Manly to win it by 13 points or more at +125 with Neds.

The aforementioned Brooks has a strong history against the Dragons dating back to his time with the Wests Tigers, scoring a try in five of his last six away matches against them. He is now part of a Sea Eagles side that is more organised with Daly Cherry-Evans at halfback and with players like Trbojevic at fullback. There is immense value in the +270 price for Brooks to score a try at any time with the top NRL bookmakers.

Olakau’atu has been in incredible form to start this season, which has his name in the State of Origin conversation for New South Wales. The dynamic second-rower has already scored a try this season to go with 15 tackle breaks. Olakau’atu has scored a try in each of the Sea Eagles’ last three matches as favourites, and he should be able to score at some stage this Saturday as a +200 chance.
