Best Bet

Storm –9.5 @ $1.90

Bet Now

The Storm get Cameron Munster and Xavier Coates back in the team, which is why there has been a stack of money come for them. They are key players for the Storm, who have already thrashed the Sea Eagles earlier this year.

They won 48-24 on the road in April, and although Manly comes off consecutive wins, Melbourne is playing much better rugby league. That should see them cover the –9.5 spread with ease, especially with the finals approaching.

Take the line before more money comes for the Storm, who could firm into a –10.5 line.

Same Game Multi

Storm –9.5, Xavier Coates Anytime Try Scorer, Nick Meaney Anytime Try Scorer, Over 47.5 @ $7.50

Bet Now

We’re backing Coates and Nick Meaney to score tries for the Storm, and punters get value odds, especially for Meaney.

The fill-in fullback for Ryan Papenhuyzen didn’t score last week, but he looked good when scoring three tries from his previous two games. That form should see him score a try, and punters get $2.50 odds. That’s much better than $1.74 for Coates, but he can’t be left out.

Coates is fresh after State of Origin, and he’s a big threat to score on the wing. We expect him to score a try early in the game, so look for Jahrome Hughes to do a well-placed kick to the corner for Coates to score.

They scored 72 points in the first meeting of 2025, so we’re including over 47.5 in our NFL same game multi picks.

Best Value Bet

Xavier Coates First Try Scorer @ $8.50

Bet Now

Coates has a good chance to cross for an early try, and it’s likely to come via an aerial assault.

He has the skill edge over the Manly wingers, who are tall, but Coates is one of the best leapers in the NRL. He’s also one of the strongest close to the line, so take the $8.50 odds as a value bet on Saturday night.
