Manly Sea Eagles v Newcastle Knights
Another blockbuster match of round 2, the Knights and Manly are both playing in good form coming off first round wins. The Knights’ demolition of the West Tigers was a good sign for Wayne Bennett’s crew, with star fullback Darius Boyd finally finding form after a lacklustre 2012 season.
Last week Manly turned their match against the Brisbane Broncos around after trailing in the first half. While the Broncos may have suffered a second half breakdown there was no denying Manly upped the tempo with some fantastic second half play.
This won’t be a big scoring match with both teams impressive in defence, but it certainly won’t lack excitement.
Prediction: Manly by 4
