The Illawarra Dragons prepare for Manly.NRL_Dragons

Friday Australian Rugby: Miller picks St. George vs Manly, South Sydney vs Sydney in overnight NRL play

St. George Illawarra Dragons (-165) vs. Manly Sea Eagles (+150), 3 am EDT; South Sydney Rabbitohs (+135) vs. Sydney Roosters (-150), 5:05 am.

Sydney looks to build on fast start to NRL season with win over Rabbitohs

After last night’s stunning last minute win for Penrith to open Week 3 (watch the final minutes of that video, it truly was an amazing finish), fans and bettors are hoping that tonight’s docket can be anywhere as good (and profitable).

They will not have to wait liong to get another top contest: Sydney will take on South Sydney in a top eight battle, just after the St. George Illawarra Dragons host the Manly Sea Eagles.

Sydney (2-0) has been on a rampage, with a +76 point differential (86-10), and will look to keep piling on the offense against the Bunnies.

Manly (0-2) has been atrocious, with a -56 point differential, and the Dragons (1-1) will think they can win a second game on the trot.

These picks are about how good Sydney has been so far, and how poor Manly has played. I am going to throw a few extra bucks on the margin betting for Illawarra, and hope the game lands between a 13-18 point win for the Dragons (+650).
