Sunday, August 20, 4pm (AEST) at ANZ Stadium, Sydney
The Bulldogs are becoming the laughing stock of the NRL, losing 10 of their past 12 matches and struggling to score any points. The job this week became all that much tougher, with both Josh Reynolds and Sam Kasiano ruled out through injury. Meanwhile, the Sea Eagles blew a 20-6 lead over the Tigers last week and also blew a great chance to be battling it out for a Top 4 position. This could be a potential danger game. but the loss against the Tigers should ensure that they’re switched on for the 80 minutes.
HistoryThe Bulldogs have won six of the last seven against the Sea Eagles, but Manly downed Canterbury 36-0 when the teams met earlier in the season. Sea Eagles centre Brian Kelly crossed for a double in the big win.
FormCanterbury are going as bad as any team in the premiership with four straight losses and 10 defeats in their last 12 matches. The Bulldogs are 1-11 against Top 8 opposition. Canterbury have averaged 9.82 points over their last 11 matches. Manly have fallen to seventh with a 12-9 record following their 30-26 loss to the Wests Tigers. The Sea Eagles have the third best attack in the competition but rank 11th defensively. Manly have won just two of their last six matches.
Stats That Matter– Canterbury are 9-12 ATS with a 16-5 under record while Manly are 10-11 ATS with a 12-9 over number.
– The Bulldogs have won six of the last seven against the Sea Eagles but Manly downed Canterbury 36-0 when the teams met earlier in the season.
– Five of the last six matches have tallied 36 points or fewer.
– Manly have covered just 4 of their last 17 away from Brookvale Oval as a favourite.
– The Sea Eagles have failed to cover their last five away from Brookvale.
– Canterbury are 31-23 under at ANZ since 2014 with the under hitting in 10 of their last 14.
– The Bulldogs have covered six straight and 8 of their last 10 at ANZ getting a start bigger than a converted try.

Final ThoughtsThe Wolf is taking the unders here and it always looks a great bet when the Dogs are playing, especially when Des Hasler’s men are averaging 9.82 points over their last 11 matches. The Sea Eagles also leaked 30 points against the Tigers last week and you can bet that they’ve been hammered at training this week by Trent Barrett.
