The betting

With Centrebet:
Eels have come up as $1.60 faves.
Manly $2.30, +2.5pts $2.00, +4.5pts $1.90.

With Sportsbook:
Manly $2.45, +3.5pts $2.00, +5pts $1.91

Honestly, this will be a hard game to win but the value is in the outright victory with Sportsbook. Maybe a small punt on an Eels penalty goal with the first scoring play @ $9.50 as Clarkie will probably try and stamp his authority early with us the likely culprits (or victims).

Parra have scored a try as first scoring play in their last 10 games or something they come out of the blocks fast!!

A manly win will be the first leg of my multi

The betting for "any other player" has come in from $11 to $8. Looks like Bell is playing.

Then Williamson better start

 

[Nutzcraw]

I have a multi on.. it's a long shot but will be good if it gets up

Just 2 legs:

Leg 1: Manly to win by 1 - 12
Leg 2: Milton Thaiday first tryscorer + Knights win @ 1 -12

$5 bet for a return of $693.00

Last time I checked out the odds for this weekend the Dragons were favourite to beat the Storm....I picked the Dragons but seriously - how the fcuk do that work that one out...

It's bizzare isn't it PJ, I would say they have given Dragons favouritism simply because they are playing at home i guess?

 

[PJ]

Yep...that's all I can fathom....
Storm are hot to trot at the moment and they have Greg Inglis coming back this week..
That on top of the Dragons piss weak effort against the Raiders!
Best time to beat the Storm is away from home obviously but they deserved favouritism this week.

It will be the OKI-dokie factor 4 sure.

I read today of massive plunges on the Slimes to go all the way. Backed in from 60s to now about 13s to 16s (depending on the betting agency). Seriously, that is a HUGE risk. All the same how good is it that Jason Taylor hits the rare patch and Brian Smith looks like a giant loser. Oh, and the Knights must be SO happy.
