The absence of Melbourne’s ‘big three’ has punters at Sportingbet extremely confident the Titans are set for a big win over the Storm at Skilled Park tonight.
The Titans have been backed from $1.40 into $1.34 at Sportingbet, while Melbourne has drifted from $3.15 out to $3.40.
“The last time Melbourne played the Titans without Cameron Smith and Billy Slater they lost 18-0 and this time they’re without Cooper Cronk as well,” Sportingbet Australia spokesman Andrew Brown said.
“There’s been a stack of interest in the Titans to win this game and to win it big and we’ve had to move the line from 6.5 points out to 8.5 points,” Brown said.
Gold Coast’s Kevin Gordon is a $9 favourite in front of William Zillman and Jamal Idris at $11 to score the first try.
