“The punters have deserted NSW in the decider, we have hardly written a bet on them since they were smashed in game 2 with a flood of money coming for the Maroons,” Centrebet’s Michael Felgate said.

Queensland has been backed from $1.80 into $1.56 with NSW easing from $2.00 out to $2.50, the line is currently -4.5.

“It’s been a month from hell for the Blues with injuries and off-field incident causing havoc. The loss of skipper Paul Gallen was a big blow in the eyes of the punters who have declared they can’t win despite the decider being played at Homebush,” Felgate said.

Punters have also launched a longshot plunge on Queenslander Matt Scott for the Man Of The Match.

“Scott has been by far the best backed in the last couple of days firming from $26 into $17 but teammate Johnathan Thurston remains favourite at $5.”
