I've been saying it for a while now. With a fully fit side, which should be the case for the finals, the Broncos are an excellent unit: Yow Yeh, Folau, Hodges and Kemp is a backline we haven't seen for a while. Add that to Tronc who has returned, Parker, Lockyer, Wallace etc etc and they'll match it with anyone. A very good bet.
NRL: RESURGENT BRONCOS HORROR RESULT FOR BOOKIES
Six-time premiers Brisbane have bookmakers more than a little nervous after punters climbed on board at $67 several weeks ago when they looked more likely to be wooden spoon contenders than grand finalists.
But the Broncos are now into $8 third picks at Sportingbet Australia with their CEO Michael Sullivan saying they are by far his worst result with one client set to collect $268,000 should they go all the way.
“We took one bet of $264,000 to $4000 on them in April and we have laid them at every price on the way in,” Sullivan said.
“We took a bet of $55,000 to $5000 before Brisbane beat Parramatta on Saturday and we've slashed their quote to $8.00.
“They are our worst result for the Premiership by a long way.”
St George are the raging $3.25 favourites at Sportingbet and Sullivan said there looked to be only a few challengers capable of upsetting a drought breaking Premiership for the Dragons in October.
“The Dragons look a level above everyone else and if it wasn’t St George we were talking about, you'd almost declare them,” he said.
“The Panthers are second favourites at $5.50 and look short enough and then you go to the Broncos at $8.00 with Manly and Parramatta, sides some way off top form, both at $8.50.”
