The Storm have drifted slightly in TAB’s NRL Premiership market despite a record-equalling 19th straight victory.
With the bulk of money still on Penrith to win the title, Melbourne moved from $2.20 to $2.25 as the Panthers shortened from $3.75 into $3.25 with their win over South Sydney, who are now back out $5.50.
The injury hit Roosters continue to cling to fourth spot despite Manly being $1.30 favourite in the TAB Top Four market. The Roosters are out to $3.40 after being $2.05 last week, while Parramatta are now $41 long shots for the Top Four with Melbourne and Penrith to play over the remaining two rounds.
Newcastle are $1.03 to make the Final Eight but Cronulla are the big movers in that market, tightening from $9 into $2 to clinch the last spot in the finals from Gold Coast ($2.35) and the Raiders ($5).
