The race for the 2020 NRL premiership opened up slightly following Round 10 after the top two teams in TAB’s market – the Sydney Roosters and Parramatta – both lost.
The Roosters eased from $3.25 to $3.75 after their 24-20 defeat to Canberra at the SCG last Thursday night while the Eels drifted from $4 to $4.50 following their 22-18 loss to Manly at Brookvale Oval last Saturday night.
Melbourne shortened from $6 to $5.25 after they thrashed Gold Coast 42-6 at Sunshine Coast Stadium last Friday night and Penrith firmed marginally from $6 to $5.50 after their 22-10 victory over North Queensland at Panthers Stadium yesterday.
The Raiders were $12 before their upset victory over the Roosters and are now $11 while the Sea Eagles tightened from $21 to $13 after they stunned Parramatta.
Aside from premiership betting, the demise of Brisbane is highlighted by the fact that their current price of $8 to defeat the Storm at Suncorp Stadium on Friday night is their biggest ever Head To Head price since TAB commenced betting on the NRL in 1998.
The Broncos’ previous longest Head To Head price was $6.50 when they lost 34-16 to St George Illawarra at WIN Stadium in Round 5, 2010.
