Punters are not sharing Gold Coast chairman John Witheriff’s optimism that that Suns will win a flag within three years, with online bookmaker sportsbet pricing them at $34 to win a premiership by the end of the 2015 season.
And if they are to win one within three years it doesn’t look likely to be in the 2013 season, priced at $501 along with GWS to win the flag next year.
“No doubt they are a team on the rise but according to our market Witheriff may be getting a bit ahead of himself, with punters not really giving them much hope in the short term,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
