Sea Eagles vs Broncos NRL Round 5 betting predictions

Sea Eagles vs Broncos NRL betting preview

Just where do the Brisbane Broncos go after a 59-0 drubbing by the Roosters at Suncorp Stadium?

Considering they are paying $4.50 in the head-to-head market at Marantelli Bet, those in the know can see the uphill journey they face.

Already without a number of big names, Brisbane will field a side that will include the return of Ben Te’o, who last played in the NRL in 2014.

Corey Oates is also expected to make his debut in the back row with Xavier Coates coming into the backline.

Kotoni Staggs will return at right centre, while Matt Lodge will make his first start for 2020 with Tom Flegler put back on the bench.

Some thing has to give when you have conceded 93 points in two games, but making wholesale changes feels like throwing darts at a wall and hoping something will stick.

Rarely have mass changes yielded results when you shuffle young, inexperienced players with other young, inexperienced players who are even further down the pecking order.

The Broncos were embarrassed in the middle last week and now face an outstanding Manly Sea Eagles midfield, so it might be a week to look at a big man to cross the stripe first.

Rarely is Tom Trbojevic not backed off the map in the first try market, but it may be worth considering big brother Jake at long odds to open the scoring on this occasion.

The punters have loaded up on Manly, with the 13+ price going from $2 to $1.91 at Sportsbet.com.au within the space of a few hours on Tuesday morning.

The line has also drifted from -11.5 to -12.5 in another indication the Broncos are absolutely friendless.

Manly started slow against Parramatta before rallying late to get within a controversial decision of winning the game, but don’t expect them to be cumbersome out of the blocks this week.

In their last start at Central Coast Stadium, the Sea Eagles raced out of the blocks to have Tom Trbojevic score in the third minute and you can bet Des Hasler will be looking to get a convincing win into his team.
