NRL: Panthers Short Odds To Stay Top
July 9th, 2014 by TJ DilferAll eyes will understandably be on Suncorp for the final game of this year’s State of Origin series, and we’ve obviously got all the State of Origin odds you need to make sure you’re ready for the dead-rubber that could be an explosive affair. But there’s more to look forward to after the dust has settled, with a full weekend of NRL games that finishes on Monday night with ladder leaders Penrith in action against the Broncos and odds-on to take the points and hold onto the top spot…
Before that, the Titans meet the Raiders in what could be a key game for both sides. The Titans pulled out a great performance in the last round to break a worrying losing streak, and that win will have galvanised their fans, and made them believe that their side can make it into the top eight in time to be in with a shot at the Grand Final. Of course, it’s the players who need to believe, not the fans, and Canberra will be looking to learn from the Titans’ performance against the Rabbitohs, and will be looking to pull the same trick on the Gold Coast boys, re-igniting their own season in the process.
There’s also a bottom-of-the-ladder clash to relish on Sunday: the Knights and the Sharks are currently on the same lowest-in-the-league points total as the Raiders, and one of them will wake up Monday morning with the warm glow that comes with not being in the wooden spoon spot any longer. But who will it be? The odds are in favour of the Knights (they’re a $1.67 bet), but they’ve got two defeats from their last two games, where the Sharks have found some late-season form to roar back in the second half of their last two fixtures, winning both. The odds are with the Knights, but the momentum is with the Sharks: it’s a great clash in store…
And then to Monday, when the Panthers, fresh from the battle of the big cats and a win over the Tigers, look to dig their claws deeper into the top spot and to heap more hurt on a Broncos side that has already lost two on the bounce, and surely can’t afford to lose too many more without a drop out of the finals placing looming. We’ve got all the Round 18 odds ready for you if you follow the link – there’s lots to look forward to before the Panthers try to cap it all with a win!
