With Penrith missing six players to State of Origin duty, TAB has received plenty of interest in Wests Tigers inflicting the Panthers first loss of the season.
The Tigers have tightened from $2.90 into $2.75 in the Head-to-Head market but Penrith remain favourites to win without their big guns at $1.44.
Round 13 kicks off tonight with the Dragons well backed favourites against the Broncos following the return of Matt Dufty and Jack De Belin. They’re $1.53 into $1.38 with Brisbane the big drifters, going from $2.45 to $3. One TAB punter has had $5,000 on St George Illawarra to win at $1.40.
In State of Origin news, Queensland have drifted further. After being as short as $2.20 they’re now out to $2.50 with Kalyn Ponga’s withdrawal confirmed and concerns over the fitness of other key players. The Blues are $1.53 favourites.
