Top 8 odds or premiership odds?

 

[Captain Dong]

Premiership

 

[Dan]

Not enough in it to entice me, but Roosters and Eels look dangerous and worth a sneaky, I don't see Manly improving and I dont see Cowboys doing much.

Melbourne are still def up there but not worth a bet at those prices. I hope they get figured out this year

 

[Canteen Worker]

What have the Cowboys done to convince they will be up there? The Eels have firmed despite losing Tahu. Souths are not inspiring anyone and they are good odds for the Tigers!

 

[SilentBob]

Going as far as the Cowboys did with half their forward pack out injured by the end of the season was always going to get them some good backing.

 

[Matabele]

Cowboys have O'Donnel, Southern, Faumuina, Tronc to come back into a side that finished one week out of the GF.

Plus Burns will give them some stability outside of Ecstasy head.

 

[ManlyBacker]

The two biggest waste of money bets are the Rorters and the Broncs who I tip won't make the 8 now that Civo has gone. For a long shot the Raiders will be good odds to make the 8.

In all seriousness 8 - 1 ($9 includes the return of your initial bet) are fantastic odds for Manly. They should be thereabouts again and we are still sticking steadfast to the same group of players.

 

[Matabele]

Manly - 6th.
I'm thinking injuries might cruel our chances next year.

 

[Matabele]

As much as I hate saying it, the Sharks look good value.
