I hope it's a big year...

I love this, I really do. It is great because the players, while not allowed to bet do look at the odds. A lot of other NRL players will be doing the same as the experts and writing us off. I think the safest bet is that Matthew Elliott has or will show these prices to his side. Nothing like a little psycology to rev up a team.

It's funny, in Lozza's last year(i think, around that time anyway) Gus had us to come 11th. When we finished in the top 5 i emailed him and had a good laugh, he actually replied and said he was eating his words....he must eat a lot of words. :lol:
;-) :lol:there is a thread about it at another forum i go to.

Am I missing something, or do those odds not contradict the story? I would say that based on the odds, they consider us a better chance to make the eight than finish last... unless SportsTAB have suddenly decided to pay less for the long shots and more for the favourites? :?
Schifty said:You will find that odds for top 8 finishes are never really over $5 much. THe reason being that 8 of 15 clubs make the 8 so they arn't willing to risk anything by making many sides huge outsiders.
For cluibs like the roosters and dogs you will get something like $1.05 for them to make the 8.

I have no idea how this betting thing works but why are we better odds to win the Grand Final than the Minor Prem? Do they think we can't be consitent for 26 rounds but we can cause 4 rounds of upsets?
Anyway if someone want to punt go one of those two lol (just don't bet too much) ;-)

They are worse odds for us to win the GF. For $1 laid, you get $67 back if we win the GF. You get $151 if we win the MP.
