Punters kick Sharks whilst they are down

They’ve lost their star player as well as their coach, and the Sharks’ week looks like getting even worse, with online bookmaker sportsbet reporting an unprecedented amount of money for the Roosters to demolish Cronulla on Saturday night.

On the back of Todd Carney’s sacking and Peter Sharp’s resignation, more than 10 times the money has gone on the Roosters giving away a huge 22.5 points, with the Roosters priced at $15 to win by 51 points or more.

The Sharks ended a run of 3 scoreless performances last week against the Broncos, however Sportsbet are offering the price of $6.00 for them to slip back into their scoreless ways.

The Roosters are priced at $1.08 to win the match while the Sharks have drifted to $8.00.

“On paper, it looks like the NRL’s version of Kyrgios v Nadal but as we’ve seen in sport, anything’s possible. We’re about to find out just how much fight there is at the Cronulla club,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
