Daly Cherry-Evans is a $10 favourite to win consecutive Clive Churchill Medals as man of the match in this year’s NRL Grand Final.
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au is the first betting company to put up the market and has listed the Manly halfback as the top pick ahead of Roosters star Sonny Bill Williams and Rabbitohs fullback Greg Inglis (both $15).
Sea Eagles, Roosters and Rabbitohs players occupy the top 6 rungs of betting with Kieran Foran a $17 chance and good mate Mitchell Pearce listed at $19.
For those who are keen on the Storm making a charge in September, Cooper Cronk and Cam Smith are priced at $34.
“If Cherry-Evans can win the Clive Churchill on the losing side, he’s every chance again this year given he’s steering the premiership favourites around the paddock,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
