After being ignored by the majority of TAB punters since booking their grand final berth, Penrith has shortened today from $2.35 to $2.25 to defeat Melbourne ($1.65 to $1.70) in this evening’s NRL grand final at ANZ Stadium.
Even though the Storm have received 58 percent of support from TAB customers since the teams for this season’s premiership decider were confirmed, the ratio of money today is fifty-fifty for both sides.
In regards to betting for the Clive Churchill Medal, Cameron Smith has tightened today as favourite from $3.75 to $3.50 to be adjudged best-on-ground tonight.
Smith has attracted 35 percent of interest from TAB punters including a $4000 wager at $3.75 with Nathan Cleary ($4.25) next best at 19 percent ahead of Cameron Munster ($8; eight percent) and Ryan Papenhuyzen ($10; seven percent).
Josh Addo-Carr ($8.50 favourite) has garnered 13 percent of support from TAB customers to be the first tryscorer in the 2020 NRL grand final.
