Two teams locked on 16 points clash in the opening match of Round 14 this Thursday, with the Sea Eagles hosting the Rabbitohs at 4 Pines Park in Manly.<\/p>\n

Manly Sea Eagles vs South Sydney Rabbitohs<\/h2>\n

Manly have won seven of nine since Kieran Foran took over in late March, rocketing themselves to fifth on the table.<\/p>\n

They come into this game off the back of a rare defeat though, falling 28-22 to the Sharks last round.<\/p>\n

The Rabbitohs have been less impressive in recent weeks, with three losses from their last four. They had a bye last week, before which they dropped back-to-back games against the Cowboys and Dolphins.<\/p>\n

Leg 1 – Sea Eagles to Win<\/h3>\n

This head-to-head has strongly favoured the home side, with 11 of the last 12 meetings won by the hosts.<\/p>\n

All signs are pointing towards that trend holding this Thursday, particularly given the Rabbitohs are still without Latrell Mitchell, while Manly get Haumole Olakau’atu and Tolutau Koula back.<\/p>\n

Leg 2 – Under 52.5 Points Total<\/h3>\n

Under Foran, the Sea Eagles have won matches through field position and defence.<\/p>\n

This lends to low-scoring encounters. Seven of their last nine have fallen under the 52.5 points total, and last week was the first time they’d conceded more than 18 points since March.<\/p>\n

The Rabbitohs without Mitchell have struggled for attacking spark, scoring just five tries over their last two matches.<\/p>\n

Leg 3 – Alex Johnston to Score<\/h3>\n

Manly were exposed on the edges by the Sharks last round, and one player who should take advantage of that is Johnston.<\/p>\n

The South Sydney winger has found his way to the tryline consistently in 2026, scoring in every match he’s played, with 15 tries from 10 matches.<\/p>\n

He’s fared well against the Sea Eagles in the past too, bagging 15 tries in 18 games against the club.<\/p>\n

Same Game Multi<\/h2>\n

Sea Eagles to Win \/ Under 52.5 \/ Johnston to Score = $6.50 <\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n

Value Bet<\/h2>\n

Luke Brooks has consistently been giving Trbojevic short balls to run hard lines off down the left-hand side.<\/p>\n

This has been the Rabbitohs’ weakest edge in defence, and one that will be reshuffled this week due to the return of David Fifita.<\/p>\n

Trbojevic has already picked up three tries this season, including one last round, and should get his chances in this match too.<\/p>\n
