Despite recording their fifth successive victory last Friday night, the Sydney Roosters have eased marginally as favourites from $3 to $3.25 at TAB to win the 2020 NRL premiership.
Even though the Roosters defeated St George Illawarra 26-12 at Bankwest Stadium, significant knee injuries to Victor Radley and Sam Verrills saw the two-time defending premiers drift in title betting.
Parramatta shortened from $6 to $4.50 to win the 2020 premiership after they withstood a frantic finish from Canberra to win 25-24 in golden point at Bankwest Stadium last Saturday night.
One TAB punter is hoping that the Roosters and Eels will contest the 2020 Grand Final after plonking $40,000 at $6 last Thursday on these sides to clash in this season’s premiership decider for a potential $240,000 collect.
Meanwhile, Brisbane’s five-game losing streak since the resumption of the 2020 season has resulted in dramatic price movements on the Broncos in TAB’s futures markets.
In TAB notes of interest on the Broncos before Round 3 commenced to now:
- Brisbane has drifted from $11 to $101 for the premiership
- Brisbane has blown from $1.45 to $4.50 to finish in the Top 8 ($2.75 to $1.18 to miss the Top 8)
- Brisbane has firmed from $81 to $11 to lose the most games this season
