His absence was heavily felt in last week’s loss to Melbourne and no doubt the Sharks smell blood in the water.</p> <p>Let’s take a look at how these two teams will line up in Perth, along with some betting tips for the H2H, first try scorer and over/under markets.

<h2>Sharks vs Sea Eagles Prediction and Betting Tips</h2> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Head-to-Head Prediction</h3> <p>The first game of this week’s Perth double header sees the Sharks and the Sea Eagles both searching for an immediate bounce-back from losses last week.</p> <p>The Sharks were stunned in the nation’s capital by a last-minute Raiders’ resurgence, while Manly’s fortress at Four Pines Park was stormed by Melbourne.</p> <p>Despite no Tom Trbojevic we were quietly confident Manly would be able to take it to Melbourne, but Craig Bellamy has made a career out of proving people wrong and did just that as he oversaw his team to a dominant 48-24 win.</p> <p>Now we’re not as hot on the Sea Eagles sans Tommy Turbo, so we’re siding with the Sharks here, but only just.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip: </strong>Cronulla Sharks.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>First Try Scorer Prediction</h3> <p>Part of Manly’s reshuffle due to Tom Trbojevic’s injury has seen young flyer Clayton Faulalo come into the side on the wing.</p> <p>The athletic winger grabbed a last-minute consolation try in last week’s loss to Melbourne, but we’re tipping him to do the opposite here and cross the line closer to minute one than minute 80.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Clayton Faulalo.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <h3>Over/Under Prediction</h3> <p>Each of Manly's last seven away matches have gone over the total match points line, so it will be interesting to see how much of a part location plays here.</p> <p>Yes, Manly will be away, but so will Cronulla. Still, both of these teams love to attack, and both have plenty of players capable of piling on the points, so the over in this market still seems like the play to us.</p> <p><strong>Betting tip:</strong> Over total match points.</p>
