Sea Eagles vs Panthers NRL Round 12 betting tips & odds

Sea Eagles vs Panthers NRL betting preview

A bit like Parramatta when they played Newcastle in round nine, the Penrith Panthers showed some vulnerability against the Titans last week and might have lost if they were playing stronger opposition.

The Eels followed that display in the Hunter with a flat showing against the Manly Sea Eagles, who blew them off the park at Lottoland.

The $2.50 for the Sea Eagles at home is absolutely worth consideration. Des Hasler loves taking on the top teams and he will once again use the siege mentality as a contender comes to town.

Penrith have named Api Koroisau on the extended bench, and he’d be itching to get back in time to play against the club where he spent four seasons.

Manly’s starting forward pack is back at full strength, while they may get also Dylan Walker back in the halves after five weeks out.

Once Walker returns they are only short Tom Trbojevic from their best lineup, although he may be the most important piece of the puzzle.

While Brendan Elliot has been a solid replacement at fullback, the Sea Eagles may miss Tommy’s extra bit of class when they face the league leaders.

The over/under line of 36.5 shouldn’t be breached, as Manly know they’ll have to drag the Panthers down into the gutter if they are going to get the win.

If the game goes over that line, Penrith will have done enough to get the two points and remain on top of the ladder.

Viliame Kikau is excellent value for punters at $21 in the first tryscorer betting, as he is one of the most well-backed forwards in the competition for this market.

Moses Suli for Manly is also a great option at $21 for the first and $4 to score at any time. The big man out wide is due, having scored just the one try so far in 2020.
