The early Grand Final money at TAB is going with South Sydney in both Head-to-Head and Margin betting with punters wary of the Panthers niggling injuries and tough run into the decider.
Since opening as $2.40 outsiders, Souths have shortened into $2.25 with 55 percent of the Head-to-Head hold so far, while a Rabbitohs win by 13+ has also attracted punters with its juicy odds ($6.50) and is currently the best backed option in the Margin markets with 32 percent of the support.
Penrith have drifted slightly from $1.60 to $1.67 but Nathan Cleary remains favourite for the Clive Churchill Medal at $3.50 and is best backed over Cody Walker at $7.50 with the pair dominating almost half of the market between them.
