Manly Sea-Eagles v Melbourne Storm
I think if the Storm forwards can matchup to the Manly Pack which i think they will, then the Melbourne backline will have too much firepower for the Eagles.

Manly i dont think have been as impressive as it appears
they beat a warriors team who are inconsistant at best and thrashed a sharks team without their two best front rowers and halfback

Same could be said about the storm, they thrashed 2 incredably average teams in the knights and dragons but IMO they have been far more impressive so my tip is Melbourne by 13+

Agreed, although I think you were a bit harsh on the Dragons. They've faced the two giants of the competition in the front-runners Melbourne and the reigning premiers Canterbury. They'll go alright this season.

Hmm the dragons no doubt have alot of talent but they were also missing alot, they'll come good this year IMO but at the moment they are without a doubt the most out of form team in the comp...

Manly have Kennedy and Hill in doubt (yes i know), if these two play, especially Kennedy then i think we are a chance, if there both out we could be in a bit of trouble

This is a real acid test for Manly. Hicks, King, G Stewart, Alberts will all be missing and there are also serious doubts over Hill and Kennedy...not to mention the loss of Hoppa. A win for Manly would give them some credibility and answer those critics who doubt their depth. Should be an exciting contest with speedsters like Slater and Geyer vs. Stewart and Donald and Monaghan and Orford in top form. Hopefully Manly fans will pack out Brookie this Sunday!

Don't forget that Manly beat the Sharks with only 12 men and lost Hill at half time. Not to mention losing Mona's for 10-15 minutes with a cramp.

I hope Kennedy does play, he has been good so far, and will definetly go good against storm as always... Kite is another who goes pretty good against them, Manly are being pretty underated for this match.

This will be a close game but I think the Storm will get this one...Alex Chan and Dennis Scott are big losses to the forward pack but the boys have been playing as a team and constant pressure up the middle of the ruck will win them the game.

Storm by 10.
