Blues fullback Jarryd Hayne is the $6.00 favourite to repeat his game one performance, with skipperPaul Gallen and hooker Robbie Farah (both $8.00) the other players at the top end of the market.
Johnathan Thurston ($7.50) and Daly Cherry-Evans ($9.00) are the only Maroons in single figures.
“The times are changing – punters believe Hayne, Gallen and Farah are the new superstars of the game at the moment, but Blues fans have been stung in the past when the Maroons have been written off,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
NSW remain favourites to win the match and claim their first series since 2005, with the Blues priced at $1.65 for Wednesday night’s game at ANZ Stadium.
