The official team lists are in for Titans vs Sea Eagles, with several key changes creating new betting opportunities ahead of kick-off. We’ve analysed the biggest winners, losers and matchups for punters following Team List Tuesday.
Biggest Winners – Titans
AJ Brimson
Brimson continues to be the Titans’ most dangerous attacking weapon, with his speed and support play giving Gold Coast their best chance of breaking down Manly’s defence. Against a Sea Eagles side that has conceded points through the middle at times this season, Brimson looms as a key playmaker.
Betting impact: Brimson shapes as one of the Titans’ best player market options, particularly for anytime try scorer and line break markets.
Tino Fa’asuamaleaui
The Titans captain will again shoulder a huge workload through the middle and has an opportunity to lay the platform against a Manly pack missing Corey Waddell. His ability to generate quick play-the-balls is critical to Gold Coast’s attacking chances.
Betting impact: If Tino wins the middle battle, the Titans become a far stronger chance of staying within the line or causing an upset.
Jojo Fifita
Fifita’s finishing ability remains one of Gold Coast’s biggest attacking strengths, particularly if Brimson and the halves can generate early ball out wide.
Betting impact: Fifita profiles as the Titans’ leading anytime try scorer option.
Biggest Losers – Titans
Titans middle defence
Containing Tom Trbojevic, Haumole Olakau’atu and Manly’s powerful forward pack for 80 minutes presents a major challenge.
Titans edge defenders
Manly’s left-edge attack remains one of the competition’s most dangerous and will test Gold Coast’s defensive combinations throughout the contest.
Titans bench
Interchange minutes remain difficult to predict, reducing confidence around several forward player prop markets.

Biggest Winners – Sea Eagles
Tom Trbojevic
Trbojevic has been named at fullback and remains the biggest winner from Manly’s team list. His involvement around the middle and ability to create overlaps makes him the focal point of the Sea Eagles’ attack.
Betting impact: Turbo shapes as one of the strongest anytime try scorer and player performance selections of the round.
Haumole Olakau’atu
Olakau’atu has been in outstanding form and again looks set to trouble the Titans on the edge with his size, footwork and offloading ability.
Betting impact: He remains one of the best forward anytime try scorer options this week.
Lehi Hopoate
The exciting outside back continues to benefit from the attention Trbojevic attracts and should see plenty of quality opportunities out wide.
Betting impact: Hopoate offers strong value in anytime try scorer markets if Manly enjoys the expected territorial advantage.
Biggest Losers – Sea Eagles
Corey Waddell
Waddell remains sidelined with a syndesmosis injury, reducing Manly’s edge depth and forcing another reshuffle in the forward rotation.
Sea Eagles bench
The reshuffled interchange means minutes become harder to project, particularly for middle forwards.
Sea Eagles right-edge defence
Gold Coast’s speed through AJ Brimson and Jojo Fifita gives the Titans enough strike power to capitalise if Manly’s defensive discipline slips.
Early Betting Verdict
The team lists haven’t produced any major surprises, with Tom Trbojevic again leading a largely settled Sea Eagles lineup while the Titans continue to rely heavily on AJ Brimson and Tino Fa’asuamaleaui to generate momentum. Manly appears to hold the advantage through experience and attacking firepower, making the Sea Eagles head-to-head, Tom Trbojevic player markets and Manly’s outside backs the strongest betting angles following Team List Tuesday.
